How to collect list of functions from a C file. [message #1085536]

Hello,
I am new to CDT. I want to collect the list of functions present in a given ".C" file along with the headers used by the same.
In short I want to collect, what is shown in "OUTLINE" view of eclipse, when a ".C" file is opened in eclipse.
My final goal is to develop a plugin that will take path of ".C" file as input while the list of functions and header file used as an output.
Please help me- how can I collect such information? Any code sample will be a great help.

Thanking all of you in advance.

I don't know how to do it on windows, but on linux, you can do this:

> ctags -x | awk '$2 = /function/ {print $1}'

It was just a coincidence I recently needed to do this.
