h2ph - Converting C header files into Perl

h2ph converts any C header files specified to the corresponding Perl header file format. It is most easily run while in `/usr/include':

cd /usr/include; h2ph * sys/*

C header files are located in the `/usr/include' directory and end with the extension `.h'. Perl header files are typically located in `/usr/local/lib/perl', with the extension `.ph' to distinguish the files from a C header file.

Tidbits and Messages in h2ph

No environment variables are used. The only warnings you will probably see from h2ph are the usual warnings if it can't read or write the files involved.

Bugs in h2ph

• h2ph doesn't construct the `%sizeof' array for you.
• It doesn't handle all C constructs, but it does attempt to isolate definitions inside evals so that you can get at the definitions that it can translate.
• h2ph is only intended as a rough tool. You may need to dicker with the files produced.
