Doc string facility in C++
c, c++, documentation
Solution
You can use something like doxygen. It has support for generating man pages, among other formats.
Problem
Languages like Python, MATLAB, E-Lisp have this nice facility for doc-strings. With this feature using just a few keystrokes in the terminal, you can fetch the documentations of the functions / module you have written and imported into your code. Now is there any "technique" (library, Editor tricks , whatever to ) to get a similar facility in C++ / C. Suppose I include the documentation of the function within the source file at the head of the function, then I would like to type a command like getinfo at the terminal. (something like a man page) I know such a 'man' facility exists for many C functions, but the documentation for these functions are written in separate text files from the source code. I would like the documentation to be in-place
