Subject:Generating API documentation From:Geoff Lane <geoff -at- GJCTECH -dot- FORCE9 -dot- NET> Date:Thu, 21 Jan 1999 11:43:57 -0000
Hi All,
My current project includes documenting an API. The source code is in C. I
can access the source as plain text on either Windows 98 or Linux. Can
anyone recommend a utility that can scan the code and produce basic API
documentation?
I've searched the archives for both this list and WinHlp-l and discovered
API2Help (C++), AutoDuck (VB), and DocumentVB (VB). However, I can't find
anything that does the same thing with plain-text C source files.
TIA,
Geoff Lane
