in thread What are .ph and .al files for ?

Okay, I installed all the modules I need and ran h2ph in /usr/lib.
If displays require '_h2ph_pre.ph'; and no warnings 'redefine'; then hangs.
????????? I can't find any explanations online, there seem to have been packages referring to it in RPMFind in the past but the links are dead.

    It's not hanging. It's waiting for you to type something because you ran it with no arguments and it defaults to reading from STDIN. If you want to convert C header files you should
    • be in /usr/include
    • run "h2ph *"
    Running "man h2ph" would have told you this.

      Thanks, h2ph * works fine. I was in fact in /usr/include before, but h2ph -r -l still hangs. What does * do that's different |?
