<tool> An automatic documentation extraction tool by Graham
Stoney. c2man extracts comments from C source code to
generate functional interface documentation in the same format
as sections 2 and 3 of the Unix Programmer's Manual. It
looks for comments near the objects they document, rather than
imposing a rigid syntax or requiring the programmer to use a
typesetting language. Acceptable documentation can often be
generated from existing code with no modifications.
c2man supports both K&R and ISO/ANSI C coding styles.
Output can be in nroff -man, Texinfo or LaTeX format.
It automagically documents enum parameter and return
values, it handles both C (/* */) and C++ (//) style
comments, but not C++ grammar (yet). It requires yacc,
byacc or bison for syntax analysis; lex or flex for
lexical analysis and nroff, groff, texinfo or LaTeX
to format the output. It runs under Unix, OS/2 and
MS-DOS.
