Is there a general tool that will allow someone to see the definition of all software in cygwin and allow browsing of libraries for content? If there is not, how can I go about creating one (any ideas)?
What I would like to see for executables is a setup-like tool to pretty print information on all available software without going through setup. Where a library is included, I would like to see something about the routines included in the library. Info does a great job of showing information on executables which have been downloaded (although its presentation format is really bad), but provides no insight on available but not downloaded software. 'setup' provides a thumbnail description of all available software, but you have to use it in conjunction with the internet, and viewing and searching is laborious. And I don't know if there is anything which provides some brief information on library contents. I think for libraries you have to go to the provided application developer documentation or use one of the tools to read the library contents. So, anything there or anything I can do (to make it 'there'). art -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
