Management is considering "just" switching to a different unix-like OS. I have been tasked with discovering exactly which functions (from the OS and standard libraries) are called. Before embarking on the writing of a script to parse our source files, I was wondering if I could somehow extract the information from an Ebrowse or ECB database file. Clearly a TAGS file doesn't contain the requisite info. All I really need (I think), is some text file with an obvious structure, from which I can extract the function names I'm looking for. Or would I be better using something like GNU nm ("List symbols from object files")? Suggestions and tips would be appreciate. Thanks in advance! -- Alan Mackenzie (Munich, Germany) Email: aacm@muuc.dee; to decode, wherever there is a repeated letter (like "aa"), remove half of them (leaving, say, "a").
