What is the format of a lint library?

[Lloyd Zusman]

Can anyone out there tell me the format of a lint library?
Specifically, I would like to read the llib-l*.ln file that gets
generated by lint.

If this format varies from machine to machine, I am the most
interested in the format of the .ln libraries generated in the sun3
environment.  But any information about any type of unix's .ln
libraries would be useful.

I realize that there are llib-l* files (i.e., no .ln suffix) in the
/usr/lib/lint directory, but these aren't of use to me, as I want to
read the llib-l*.ln files that are produced by my own invocation of
lint.

For example, when I type

    lint -Cfoo foo.c

a file called llib-lfoo.ln gets created.  I would like a .h file that
contains the format(s) of the data in this file so I can write a program
to access and manipulate this data.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance to all who reply,
