How to generate and copy a list of all the symbols (variables and functions) defined in C?

I have a file named common.h where all the variables and functions have been defined. Is there an easy way by which I could generate and copy the names of all the variables and functions defined ? I have more than 2,000 functions and variables defined all together and its futile to copy them one by one.

I am currently using Eclipse CDT, and it allows me to generate a list using the 'Outline' function, but unfortunately I am not able to copy them.

PS: I need this for documentation purposes.

You could use ctags. Just issue

ctags -x common.h

from a terminal. A version of ctags for Windows also exists.
