# cxref-cc(1)

compile and document/cross-reference a C source file

## NAME

cxref-cc - compile and document/cross-reference a C source file

## SYNOPSIS

**cxref-cc** filename  \[ CC-arguments ... \]

## DESCRIPTION

**cxref-cc** is a front-end shell script interface to the cxref C-language documentation and cross-referencing program.  The script runs the C compiler first on **filename,** applying any compiler options provided as  **CC-arguments.** If the compilation succeeds, cxref is then run on  **filename,** taking any options to the cxref program from the special file  **.cxref** in the current working directory.  This file must exist for the script to complete successfully.
