- * parse.c --
- *     Functions to parse a makefile.
- *
- *     One function, Parse_Init, must be called before any functions
- *     in this module are used. After that, the function Parse_File is the
- *     main entry point and controls most of the other functions in this
- *     module.
+/*
+ * Parsing of makefiles.
  *
- *     Most important structures are kept in Lsts. Directories for
- *     the .include "..." function are kept in the 'parseIncPath' Lst, while
- *     those for the .include <...> are kept in the 'sysIncPath' Lst. The
- *     targets currently being defined are kept in the 'targets' Lst.
+ * Parse_File is the main entry point and controls most of the other
+ * functions in this module.
  *
- *     The variables 'fname' and 'lineno' are used to track the name
- *     of the current file and the line number in that file so that error
- *     messages can be more meaningful.
+ * The directories for the .include "..." directive are kept in
+ * 'parseIncPath', while those for .include <...> are kept in 'sysIncPath'.
+ * The targets currently being defined are kept in 'targets'.
  *
  * Interface:
- *     Parse_Init      Initialization function which must be
- *                     called before anything else in this module
- *                     is used.
+ *     Parse_Init      Initialize the module
  *
  *     Parse_End       Clean up the module
  *
- *     Parse_File      Function used to parse a makefile. It must
- *                     be given the name of the file, which should
- *                     already have been opened, and a function
- *                     to call to read a character from the file.
+ *     Parse_File      Parse a top-level makefile.  Included files are
+ *                     handled by Parse_include_file though.
  *
- *     Parse_IsVar     Returns TRUE if the given line is a
- *                     variable assignment. Used by MainParseArgs
- *                     to determine if an argument is a target
- *                     or a variable assignment. Used internally
- *                     for pretty much the same thing...
+ *     Parse_IsVar     Return TRUE if the given line is a variable
+ *                     assignment. Used by MainParseArgs to determine if

+ *                     Used internally for pretty much the same thing.
  *
- *     Parse_Error     Function called when an error occurs in
- *                     parsing. Used by the variable and
- *                     conditional modules.
+ *     Parse_Error     Report a parse error, a warning or an informational
+ *                     message.
  *
- *     Parse_MainName  Returns a Lst of the main target to create.
+ *     Parse_MainName  Returns a list of the main target to create.
