[chbot] Lazy software developers please read...

[Spencer Travers]

I would tackle this with a Python script. Python will probably already be
installed on your Linux box. It is very good at recursively scanning
folders and processing files.

   - Use os.walk() to iterate over the folder/file structure of your source.
   - Open each file you are interested in (*.c/*.h).
   - Use a regex to match functions/structs.
   - Output modified file with templates inserted where appropriate.
