ftplugin

description

This script may be manually sourced or, if placed in .vim/ftplugin/c, will be automatically sourced whenever a C file is edited (which is where vimball will put it).  The prototypes within it are based on gcc's /usr/share/man/man2 directory. This plugin is truly simple to use: after one has typed a function name, a protype "hint" will be shown. ex.    select(        will result in           int select(int nfds, fd_set * readfds, fd_set * writefds, fd_set * exceptfds, struct timeval * utimeout)        being echo'd at the bottom of the display. You'll probably want your cmdheight option set to at least two (ie.  set ch=2). (see vimscript#1826 for man-3 based function hints) (see http://www.drchip.org/astronaut/vim/index.html#HINTSMAN2 for the latest version)

install details

1. Make sure you have and are using an up-to-date version of vimball (see vimscript#1502)     (if you have vim 7.1a or later, you probably can skip this step) 2. vim hints_man3.vba.gz      :so %      :q
