Where can i find these information, about these folders and header
files, to have an indepth knowledge of the libraries available in the
include folder.
Find out the pacakge, the header file came from. To find the package use the
following command.
Debian: dpkg -S /usr/include/your/header.h
Fedora: rpm -q --whatprovides /usr/include/your/header.h
The package description should give you some information about the header files.
To get the package description use the following command.
Debian: dpkg --print-avail my-package-name
Fedora: rpm -qi my-package-name
To check if there is any associated documentation files
Debian: dpkg --listfiles my-package-name
Fedora: rpm -ql my-package-name
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Vijay
