   As the last line of the Sun man-page for "lint" reads:
     ...it is still useful to produce stripped down lint library 
     source files and to use  them  to generate lint libraries.

   However, there are no flags (or combinations of same) which
   seem to result in the production of said "stripped down lint
   library source files".  Does anyone out there have any suggestions
   (besides the obvious -- "make it yourself by hand") as to how
   to go about creating these?  One of the people in the group
   is currently writing a simple little program which will pull
   out all #includes and function definitions, but if somebody out 
   there already has some s/w which creates lint source files, we'd
   really like to hear about it.

   Many thanks, and please respond via email.

>From the lint manual page:

	-Clibrary
		Create a lint library with the name llib-llibrary.ln.

Also, -i will generate a .ln file with just the routines and the call
lines.
