Re: How to look up where a structure is defined?

[Peng Yu <pengyu.ut@gmail.com>]

This seems to be a complicated solution. I just want to get a database
(a TSV file should be fine) of types and the header they appear. I
don't want to build the project just to get this info.

It seems that this database could be made and hosted online for easy
download or lookup.
