# [AutoDuck 2.0](http://helpmaster.info/hlp-developmentaids-autoduck.htm)

Autoduck is a command-line utility that extracts specially tagged comment blocks from programming source files and generates rich text files containing the contents of those comment blocks. Autoduck has traditionally been used to document programming APIs. Placing API documentation within the source files helps programmers disseminate information about a developing codebase. Autoduck can generate online Help files containing full hypertext coding with links and keyword lists. Typically, Autoduck is integrated into the build process, so a new Help database can be automatically generated each build.
