- Has anyone created a texinfo file which documents the functions, types, and
- macros contained in a normal set of include files?
-
- If not, is there any interest in having access to such documentation?
-
- Specifically what I had in mind was a 'manual' organized according to
- include library, and indexed off function names. A figure a typical entry
- would look like this:
-
- <stdio.h>
- Overview:
- stdio.h contains functions for handling I/O to normal files....
-
- Types:
- FILE - structure used to hold information about a file
- etc.
-
- Constants:
- NULL - used to represent an empty pointer
- etc.
-
- Functions:
- int fgets(char *string, int length, FILE *infile)
- - reads characters from infile until a '\n' is encountered
- or length characters have been read. These characters are
- placed in string followed by a '\0'.
- etc.
-
- Macros:
- you get the idea...
-
- Does anyone know of such a beast, either in print or online. Is anyone
- interested in having such a thing? Is anyone interested in helping to
- create such a thing?
