You must specify the name of the output file using the I<-o> or I<--output> option, and a list of the C source files in the project. =head2 Function and struct documentation Internal documentation is added to the C source files using special comments which appear before function or struct definitions: /** * Returns true if C equals C. */ bool is_equal (const char *foo, const char *bar) { ... /** * Struct used to store Cs. */ struct foo_bar { ... The comment is written in POD format (see L). It may be on several lines, and be split into paragraphs using blank lines. The thing being documented should appear immediately after the special comment, and is also copied into the documentation. =head2 File documentation In addition, each C file may have a special comment at the top of the file (before any C<#include> lines) which outlines what the file does. =head1 OPTIONS =over 4 =cut my $help; =item B<--help> Display brief help. =cut my $man; =item B<--man> Display full documentation (man page). =cut my $output; =item B<-o output.pod> =item B<--output output.pod> Set the name of the output file (required). =cut my $srcdir = "."; =item B<--srcdir top_srcdir> Path to the top source directory.
