The package provides several commands from the IEEEtran class file so that they can be used under other LaTeX classes; the package should not be used in a document that uses that parent class. The user guide only covers the ways in which usage differs from that in the parent class; thus the documentation of that class should be regarded as part of the documentation for the package.
