Open Source CAI Framework Handles Pen Testing Tasks up to 3,600× Faster Than Humans
CAI is a new open source AI framework that automates penetration testing tasks like scanning and exploitation up to 3,600× faster than humans.
Generate C API documentation using libclang Python bindings.
For an example see the documentation.
Ideally, code should be self-documenting. To me that means little to no documentation should be needed in the code itself, as it strongly tends to harm readability if the code already explains itself. The remaining use-cases for documentation are typically
This project focuses on generating API references, as the other use-cases tend to be written separate from the code.
The markdown-files generated by clang-api-doc
can be used in any way you wish to create your final
documentation, for example
mkdocs
sphinx
pandoc
The clang-api-doc
package is on PyPI, so you can use pip
, poetry
, or whatever you like to install it,
for example pip install clang-api-doc
.
To install it locally and in editable mode, simply install poetry and run poetry install
and to load the
virtual environment run poetry shell
.
Simply call clang-api-doc
once per file you wish to document, e.g.
clang-api-doc -i 'include/mylib/first.h' -o 'docs/first.md'
clang-api-doc -i 'include/mylib/second.h' -o 'docs/second.md'
or once per folder, e.g.
clang-api-doc -i 'include/mylib/' -o 'docs/'
from clang_api_doc import clang_api_doc
for file_in, file_out in zip(input_files, output_files):
clang_api_doc.transform_file(file_in, file_out)
