You can run the C++ parser, cbrowser, from the command line:
cbrowser -y files.f -p /bin/more

Where files.f is a list of files to parse, which you can generate with
ls -1 *.c* > files.f

But this won't build you a database.

Look at \source\snavigator\hyper\sn.h

Write your own functions of the prototypes listed there.
Eg:

int put_cross_ref ((int type,int scope_type,int scope_lev,
   char *fnc_cls,char *fnc,char *fnc_arg_types,char *scope,char *what,
   char *arg_types,char *file,int lineno,int acc))
{
  cout << type << scope_type << scope_level << fnc_cls << fnc
       << fnc_arg_types << scope << what << arg_types << file
       << lineno << acc << endl;
}

And link cbrowser against your own implemenation.
Run it with:
cbrowser -y files.f -p /bin/more

Of course, I don't recommend doing this. Use a compiler compiler tool, and 
do it yourself.
