OK.  In fact SHORT_NAMES to NO or to YES does not seem to have any
impact on what I am looking for.

I understand that Doxygen generates file names that are based on the
actual file and have no problems with it.

Let me explain the problem I have better:

Lets say I have a set of C global functions named nms_init(),
nms_start(), nms_stop(), nms_configure(), etc... implemented inside
the nms.c file and where the function prototypes are declared inside
the nms.h header file.

I would like to use Doxygen to generate the HTML documentation.  Then,
I would also write other, independent HTML documentation which would
refer to Doxygen-generated documentation.  In that documentation, I
would like to have a link to the documentation of nms_start().  I know
how to get a link to the Doxygen HTML rendering for nms.c and nms.h,
but the impression I had was the HTML link for nms_start() seems to be
random.

So, what should look the link anchor for a given function?


I have a class called CSocketLayer1.  The Doxygen class reference page
that describes it is:
file:///D:/dvp/libs/communication/vcom/_dox/en/html/classCSocketLayer1.html

Inside the class reference page, the link to the
CSocketLayer1::OpenConnection() member function is:
file:///D:/dvp/libs/communication/vcom/_dox/en/html/classCSocketLayer1.html#080597c5ec10efeba4d0deef4a1f3654

Is classCSocketLayer1.html#080597c5ec10efeba4d0deef4a1f3654 the only
Doxygen-generated link to the documentation of
CSocketLayer1::OpenConnection() (with a given prototype signature) or
is there another one?  My current understanding is that Doxygen does
only generate that link, based on the function prototype and I can use
it to refer to the function as long as the function prototype stays
the same.  Am i correct?

Thanks for you patience,

Pierre
