Ruff! (Runtime function formatter) is a documentation generation system for
programs written in the Tcl programming language. Ruff! is included with
Woof! but can be used independently of it. Ruff! uses runtime introspection
in conjunction with comment analysis to generate reference manuals for Tcl
programs.

In comparison with source code based documentation generators, Ruff!
produces documentation that not only requires less effort from the
programmer, but is also more complete, more accurate and more maintainable.

Ruff! is covered by a liberal BSD open-source license that permits use for
any purpose.
