You haven't mentioned what sort of hardware you're running on.  If you've got
access to the Microsoft C compiler (under DOS or XENIX) you can compile all
your sources with the -Zg option (which is reported as a syntax check I
believe).  This will produce a list of all the functions defined (both static
and global) with an ANSI function prototype.  Unfortunately, this prototype
will report the types after the preprocessor pass; FILE *fp is shown as struct
_iobuf *fp.

Maybe your lint will produce a human-readable library ... or maybe someone has
written a program to convert a lint library into a more readable format?
