Abstract

Due to the rapid growth and popularity of the WWW, existing software engineering technologies are required to adapt to a new environment. In this paper, we discuss the design and implementation of a documentation tool which automatically extracts design information from C source code files. The tool´s output includes information about relationships between files and functions, between functions and functions, and between functions and global variables. To implement this tool, we used existing reverse engineering tools such as cflow and cxref, and Web-related technologies such as Java script, PHP script, Java applet, and CGI
