automatically generating .h from .cpp/.c

Question

Is there a command line tool to automatically generate a .h from its .cpp or .c?

It seems like a very obvious thing to do, I don't know why it never dawned on me before now...

Of course, in the .h there should be more things than just function prototypes, so the tool could be non-trivial. Or could be trivial, requiring you to include two .h: the generated one and the custom one.

Anyway, I'd rather avoid reinventing the wheel, that's why I'm asking if it already exists.

@LiorCohen: I tried to think of a query to find it, but I didn't manage to... now that you point it out I admit I could've tried harder. — o0'.

+1 - While creating a program to create AI-based programs has crossed my mind, this has not. Very useful if you know exactly what you want to do rather than base projects off of the headers. — Qaz
