NAME    [Toc]    [Back]

     h2ph - convert .h C header	files to .ph Perl header files

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

     h2ph [headerfiles]

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

     h2ph converts any C header	files specified	to the corresponding Perl
     header file format.  It is	most easily run	while in /usr/include:

	     cd	/usr/include; h2ph * sys/*

     The output	files are placed in the	hierarchy rooted at Perl's
     architecture dependent library directory.	You can	specify	a different
     hierarchy with a -d switch.

     If	run with no arguments, filters standard	input to standard output.

ENVIRONMENT    [Toc]    [Back]

     No	environment variables are used.

FILES    [Toc]    [Back]

      /usr/include/*.h
      /usr/include/sys/*.h

     etc.

DIAGNOSTICS    [Toc]    [Back]

     The usual warnings	if it can't read or write the files involved.

BUGS    [Toc]    [Back]

     Doesn't construct the %sizeof array for you.

     It	doesn't	handle all C constructs, but it	does attempt to	isolate
     definitions inside	evals so that you can get at the definitions that it
     can translate.

     It's only intended	as a rough tool.  You may need to dicker with the
     files produced.
