#Guess and insert C headers

Find here the source for auto-header.el, an Emacs minor mode that can automatically guess what headers to prepend to a C file using information from Man pages.

Note: The insertion mechanism is currently primitive and might mess up files with fragile or complicated #ifdef constructs.

#Installation

Auto-header.el is avaliable from GNU ELPA. It can be installed by invoking

M-x package-install RET auto-header RET

#Usage

You can have auto-header run every time a buffer is saved, by modifying before-save-hook using the auto-header-mode minor mode:

(add-hook 'c-mode-hook #'auto-header-mode)

Keep in mind that auto-header.el was only written for C in mind, and will emit a warning when used with other major modes.
