comparison etc/etags.1 @ 79469:4b9b0398c0f1

Revert this change, not installed in Emacs 22: "Now --members is the default for etags, not for ctags yet". Note that you can use "-" for stdout with -o.

\fBctags\fP [\|\-aCdgIRVh\|] [\|\-BtTuvwx\|] [\|\-l \fIlanguage\fP\|]

Both forms read the files specified on the command line, and write a tag
table (defaults: \fBTAGS\fP for \fBetags\fP, \fBtags\fP for
\fBctags\fP) in the current working directory.
Files specified with relative file names will be recorded in the tag
table with file names relative to the directory where the tag table
resides.  If the tag table is in /dev, however, the file names are made
relative to the working directory.  Files specified with absolute file
names will be recorded
with absolute file names.  Files generated from a source file\-\-like
a C file generated from a source Cweb file\-\-will be recorded with
the name of the source file.
The programs recognize the language used in an input file based on its
file name and contents.  The \fB\-\-language\fP switch can be used to force

language may be used to disable language parsing altogether; only
regexp matching is done in this case (see the \fB\-\-regex\fP option).
.TP
.B \-\-members
Create tag entries for variables that are members of structure-like
constructs in C++, Objective C, Java.  This is the default for etags.

Do not tag member variables.  This is the default for ctags.
.TP
.B \-\-packages\-only
Only tag packages in Ada files.
.TP
\fB\-\-parse\-stdin=\fIfile\fP
May be used (only once) in place of a file name on the command line.
\fBetags\fP will read from standard input and mark the produced tags

Explicit name of file for tag table; overrides default \fBTAGS\fP or
