A cross-reference (noun) is an instance within a document which refers to related or synonymous information elsewhere, usually within the same work. To cross-reference or to cross-refer (verb) is to make such connections. The term "cross-reference" is often abbreviated as x-ref, xref, or, in computer science, XR. Cross-referencing is usually employed to either verify claims made by an author or to link to another piece of work that is of related interest. See, for example, the Linux cross-reference tool, lxr for init/main.c

In an index, a cross reference is often denoted by See Also. For example, under the term Albert Einstein in the index of a book about Nobel Laureates, there may be the cross-reference See Also: Einstein, Albert.

A. It probably refers to documenting software by cross referencing functions to their particular documentation. For example in UNIX, you can cross reference a C program by cross referencing functions like strcpy, perror, printf, etc. to their corresponding manpages. This could also refer to referring to documentation from another document outside of the scope. It really depends on the context and the documentation you're trying to write.
