54 assembler\-like syntaxes. |
25859 | 55 Both forms read the files specified on the command line, and write a tag |
56 table (defaults: `\|TAGS\|' for \fBetags\fP, `\|tags\|' for | |
57 \fBctags\fP) in the current working directory. | |
58 Files specified with relative file names will be recorded in the tag | |
59 table with file names relative to the directory where the tag table | |
60 resides. Files specified with absolute file names will be recorded | |
61 with absolute file names. | |
62 The programs recognize the language used in an input file based on its | |
63 file name and contents. The --language switch can be used to force | |
64 parsing of the file names following the switch according to the given | |
65 language, overriding guesses based on filename extensions. | |
66 .SH OPTIONS | |
67 Some options make sense only for the \fBvi\fP style tag files produced | |
68 by ctags; | |
69 \fBetags\fP does not recognize them. | |
70 The programs accept unambiguous abbreviations for long option names. | |
71 .TP | |
72 .B \-a, \-\-append | |
73 Append to existing tag file. (For vi-format tag files, see also | |
74 \fB\-\-update\fP.) | |
75 .TP | |
76 .B \-B, \-\-backward\-search | |
77 Tag files written in the format expected by \fBvi\fP contain regular | |
78 expression search instructions; the \fB\-B\fP option writes them using | |
79 the delimiter `\|\fB?\fP\|', to search \fIbackwards\fP through files. | |
80 The default is to use the delimiter `\|\fB/\fP\|', to search \fIforwards\fP | |
81 through files. | |
82 Only \fBctags\fP accepts this option. | |

198 Don't do any more regexp matching on the following files. May be | |
199 freely intermixed with filenames and the \fB\-\-regex\fP option. | |
200 .TP | |
201 .B \-t, \-\-typedefs | |
202 Record typedefs in C code as tags. Since this is the default behaviour | |
203 of \fBetags\fP, only \fBctags\fP accepts this option. | |
204 .TP | |
205 .B \-T, \-\-typedefs\-and\-c++ | |
206 Generate tag entries for typedefs, struct, enum, and union tags, and | |
207 C++ member functions. Since this is the default behaviour | |
208 of \fBetags\fP, only \fBctags\fP accepts this option. | |
209 .TP | |
210 .B \-u, \-\-update | |
211 Update tag entries for \fIfiles\fP specified on command line, leaving | |
212 tag entries for other files in place. Currently, this is implemented | |
213 by deleting the existing entries for the given files and then | |
214 rewriting the new entries at the end of the tags file. It is often | |
215 faster to simply rebuild the entire tag file than to use this. | |
216 Only \fBctags\fP accepts this option. | |
217 .TP | |
218 .B \-v, \-\-vgrind | |
219 Instead of generating a tag file, write index (in \fBvgrind\fP format) | |
220 to standard output. Only \fBctags\fP accepts this option. | |
221 .TP | |
222 .B \-w, \-\-no\-warn | |
223 Suppress warning messages about duplicate entries. The \fBetags\fP | |
224 program does not check for duplicate entries, so this option is not | |
225 allowed with it. | |
226 .TP | |
227 .B \-x, \-\-cxref | |
228 Instead of generating a tag file, write a cross reference (in | |
229 \fBcxref\fP format) to standard output. Only \fBctags\fP accepts this option. | |
