Fedora carries some non-upstream patches (one taken from Debian) to fix it: http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/gitweb/?p=ocaml-cmigrep.git;a=tree There doesn't seem to be an active upstream at the moment.

But why do you consider it as dirty? There is nothing wrong with it, isn't it? This uses a helper program with a well-defined interface. I think you can also "use" ocamlc -i for it, maybe easier to wrap. ocamlc -i will print out all of the types of the .ml file, not just the interface. It's useful, but not necessarily what is wanted. The top trick doesn't work if the code isn't byte-compiled and has the consequence of running the module. It would be handy to be able to actually just dump out the .cmi file, especially in cases, such as prebuilt packages that include the .cmi but left out the .ml files. David -- Caml-list mailing list.

Yes you can do this using the compiler libs (not installed by default but debian have these in a separate package). For an exemple of use see for instance the small tool displaying mli signatures from this git repo: git clone http://git.gitorious.org/ocalme/cmidump.git -- Caml-list mailing list.

Re: [Caml-list] Parsing cmi file
Thanks. I know the dirty tricks, is there some way not that dirty? Godi did pretty printing this way?
