Hi,
I am writing to ask a very general question about the gnu documentation
collections, in particular, programming language documentation collections
such as GNU c, awk, elisp, ect. I was in contact with some GNU
administrators, and they directed me to your list.
I am trying to extract pairs of function representations/declarations with
textual descriptions of these functions for various GNU programming
languages/utilities.
For example from the GNU c documentation:
*text annotation: *Adjust a tunable parameter
*function rep: *int mallopt (int param, int value)
The difficulty is that each documentation uses different conventions in
terms of formatting this information. Even within the c manual, the
representation of this information differs from section to section.
I'm wondering.. if there some quick and easy way to extract this
information? Has anyone done this before, perhaps for some other
application?
Any help or pointers would be most appreciated. I would like to get as many
documentation collections as possible.
