Hi all

I am new to the list and have recently applied for a new role over here in
the UK which will require me to write API docs for C programmers. I learnt
C many moons ago and although I have looked at API docs in the past, I have
never had to write any.

Does anyone know of any resources online that might help? Or any
particularly good samples of API documentation I could use as a guide? I am
anxious to make a good impression at the interview and although they know I
lack experience in this area, I want to knock up a dummy API doc extract to
show them I can do it!

I'd appreciate any pointers! (Sorry -- bad and unintentional pun....)

Regards

Mark
