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? -Dave
