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?
