CS Department, Charlottesville, VA Lines: 33 Keywords: documentation, unix, tools Is there anyone out in net.land who has written, used, or read about any kind of document extraction tools? As part of my Master's research, I've written several small, fairly simple C programs to produce reports directly from code. An example of this is a program to print an alphabetized listing of the functions defined in a file, including information such as the function's return type, parameters and their types: cs_query cs_object.c line 176 RETURN TYPE void 2 PARAMETERS query_code query_code_type response_code ptr to response_code_type Some of the other reports are a glossary of user-defined constants, and an alphabetized listing of user-defined types. The main idea is that a lot of helpful information can be taken directly from code. Any information on tools such as these would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your help! ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Faith L.
