I was looking at getting HTML-XML-Utils working on my computer and I noticed the .e filetype in the source tree. Running:

% file types.e
types.e: ASCII c program text

reveals some clues about it and its use in C files seems to be that of a header file.

Can anyone reveal some more information or history about this filetype? I’ve tried my best Google-foo but I cannot find anything.

    I never heard of that file type in connection with C before, but after checking the files and the Makefile it seems to be variables and functions that are exported, therefore the .e extension.

    They seem to be created by a special program (which comes with the package) called cexport whose manual page states:

    cexport – create header file with exported declarations from a C file
