Try :
www.doxygen.org

Doxygen seems to be for OO programming, not really for pure C style
programming. Unfortunately I do not know another documentation system
really designed for C language. I anyone does...

Perhaps this URL should be included in the FAQ, given the number of
times this exact question comes up?

I'm (ab)using it for C too. It works very well for me.

It does have an "optimise for C" setting, though I agree it is a bit
strange that doxygen persists in calling my structs "classes" even when
this is set.

but even on google the choice isn't terrible ?

If it does not exist why don't code it ?

A doc system oriented to pure C (i think it would be a really good idea)

I was going to suggest BumbleBee but when I checked the URL it is gone and
someone is trying to sell the address.

Someone has suggested Doxygen (that would have been my second choice since
as noted it is more C/C++ then pure C).

A quick search produced DocJet and NDoc as well. Check out
http://www.tall-tree.com/home.php4. This is the site for DocJet. It has a
comparison of DocJet, Doxygen, JavaDoc and NDoc.

I have also heard of CWeb. There are newsgroups dedicated to it. It is
sort of like TeX for C programming. This might be overkill for what
you are looking for. TeX is a typesetting language. Check out
http://www-cs-faculty.stanford.edu/~knuth/cweb.html for more information.
