        a script to automate documentation of your C APIs in markdown format.  
        
        `cdox` reads in a source code file creates documentation based on the comments. it's sort of like doxygen but simpler and creates a markdown file.  
        
        ## Usage
        ```
        cdox infile outfile
        ```
        
        ## Installation
        ```
        pip install cdox
        ```
        
        ## Rules 
        
        **cdox keywords:**
        - `@name:` name of documentation.
        - `@description:` description of file documentation.
        - `@desc:` a description of a function.
        - `@param:` a bullet point for info on a function paramter.
        - `@return:` a bullet point for what the function returns.
        
        **rules:**
        - the keywords must be in multiline comments. 
        - the multiline comments must start with `/* *` and end with `* */` each on their own line.
        - the function name/protoype must be on the line following the `* */`
        
        
        ## Example Usage
        Check out [`example.md`](https://github.com/breakthatbass/cdox/blob/main/example.md) for what the below example would produce.

        ```C
        // test.c
        
        /* *
         * strncmp
         * 
         * @desc: compare two strings up to `n` characters.
         * 
         * @param: `s1` - a char array of at least one char.
         * @param: `s2` - a char array of at least one char.
         * @param: `n` - the number of chars to compare of each string.
         * 
         * @return: 0 if strings are the same else a non-zero int.
         * */
        int strncmp(const char *s1, const char *s2, int n)
        {
          while(n > 0 && *s1 == *s2++) {
            if(*s1++ == '\0')
              return 0;
            n--;
          }
          return (n == 0 ? 0 : *s1 - *--s2);
        }
        ```
