Here is a simple one-line Perl script that extracts the list of API functions from the documentation file: perl -e '$/=undef;print(join("\n",map{"c_$_"}<>=~m:<funcdef>\s+<function>(.*)</function>\s+</funcdef>:g),"\n")' < doc/docbook/src/api.xml This could be used to generate the symbols file needed by the --retain-symbols-file option from a centralized location. Rafael P.S.: Okay, I agree, the Perl code is a little bit obfuscated :-) Here is the equivalent of the above, but in a verbose script file with lots of variables and commentaries (launch it as '/path/to/script-file < doc/docbook/src/api.xml'): =========================================================================== #!/usr/bin/perl -w # Slurp the whole input as a single multi-line string $ /= undef; $text = <>; # Collect all function names in the XML input @functions = ($text =~ m:<funcdef>\s+<function>(.*)</function>\s+</funcdef>:g); # Prepend "c_" to the function names @c_functions = map {"c_$_"} @functions; # Print the names, separated by newlines print (join ("\n", @c_functions),"\n"); ===========================================================================
