NAME
       nccgen - source code analysis

SYNOPSIS
       nccgen file.c

DESCRIPTION
       nccgen is a program that can help you hack/study the source code of C programs.	It will report which functions call which other functions,
       which functions are called by other functions and what global variables and members of structures are used by functions. This is useful	if
       you want to analyse a program and eventually hack it.

USAGE
       To  use	nccgen	find  the Makefile of the program you want to analyse. In the Makefile locate  the line which sets the C compiler. That is
       usually something like CC = gcc and you must change it to CC = nccgen -ncgcc -ncld -ncfabs.  Then compile the application. It may be useful
       to also replace AR = ar with AR = nccar and LD = ld with LD = nccld to link nccout object files.

OUTPUT
       nccgen will produce a file with nccout extension for every C file analysed.  Then you can use the viewer nccnav (with nccnav program.nccout
       ) to view this data and do your work.  If the procedure of make links object files with "ar" or "ld" you should manually link the  produced
       .nccout files.
