- Calls is a program which will print out the function calling hierarcy of all
- or some part of a 'C' program. It is a great tool to run when looking at
- new code to help figure out what the heck it's doing. I tried it on some of
- my old code, highly illuminating!
-
- The author of the original code is unknown to me, I do know it was
- significantly modified by Kevin S. Braunsdorf and then posted on Usenet(Unix
- users network).
-
- In porting it to the Amiga I could not find a way to pre-process the source
- files using the manx package. As such the following options as described in
- the original man page will not do anything: -D, -U, -I.
- I did try out the rest of the options and it seems to work fine. Also since
- the pre-processor is not used to expand macros, any functions called by the
- macro will be hidden. This should not affect the functionality too much,
- just be aware that some macros will show up as functions in the output.
-
- I modified the Unix manual page and put it in calls.amiga.man, so read it
- next to figure out how to use the program.
