What do you mean? > Then I tried etags, ``M-." at a function will open the refereced .h file. Don't you mean the referenced .C file? Normally M-. will take you to the definition of a function, not it's prototype. > What I want is the prototype? I don't understand, surely the function definition gives much more information than the prototype? Probably you could find the prototype by going through all the occurances of a tag by using tags-apropos. You might also be able to modify how etags works by giving it a regexp argument - can any other poster suggest a suitable one? > BTW: How to open the man page of a function in emacs quickly? You can open a man-page with M-x man function-name If you're using a system with GNU libraries you probably want to be reading the info files not the man pages. To do this, when point is on a function name type C-h C-i and it will jump to the relevant part of the Glibc manual.
