-.SH DESCRIPTION
-The \|\fBetags\fP\| program is used to create a tag table file, in a format
-understood by
-.BR emacs ( 1 )\c
-\&; the \|\fBctags\fP\| program is used to create a similar table in a
-format understood by
-.BR vi ( 1 )\c
-\&.  Both forms of the program understand
-the syntax of C, Objective C, C++, Java, Fortran, Ada, Cobol, Erlang, HTML,
-LaTeX, Emacs Lisp/Common Lisp, Lua, makefile, Pascal, Perl, PHP, Postscript,
-Python, Prolog, Scheme and
-most assembler\-like syntaxes.
-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
-parsing of the file names following the switch according to the given
-language, overriding guesses based on filename extensions.
-.SH OPTIONS
-Some options make sense only for the \fBvi\fP style tag files produced
-by ctags;
-\fBetags\fP does not recognize them.
-The programs accept unambiguous abbreviations for long option names.
-.TP
-.B \-a, \-\-append
-Append to existing tag file.  (For \fBvi\fP-format tag files, see also
-\fB\-\-update\fP.)
-.TP
-.B \-B, \-\-backward\-search
-Tag files written in the format expected by \fBvi\fP contain regular
-expression search instructions; the \fB\-B\fP option writes them using
-the delimiter `\|\fB?\fP\|', to search \fIbackwards\fP through files.
-The default is to use the delimiter `\|\fB/\fP\|', to search \fIforwards\fP
-through files.
-Only \fBctags\fP accepts this option.
-.TP
-.B \-\-declarations
-In C and derived languages, create tags for function declarations,
-and create tags for extern variables unless \-\-no\-globals is used.
-.TP
-.B \-d, \-\-defines
-Create tag entries for C preprocessor constant definitions
-and enum constants, too.  Since this is the default behavior of
-\fBetags\fP, only \fBctags\fP accepts this option.
-.TP
-.B \-D, \-\-no\-defines
-Do not create tag entries for C preprocessor constant definitions
-and enum constants.
-This may make the tags file much smaller if many header files are tagged.
-Since this is the default behavior of \fBctags\fP, only \fBetags\fP
-accepts this option.
-.TP
-.B \-\-globals
-Create tag entries for global variables in C, C++, Objective C, Java,
-and Perl.
-Since this is the default behavior of \fBetags\fP, only \fBctags\fP
-accepts this option.
-.TP
-.B \-\-no\-globals
-Do not tag global variables.  Typically this reduces the file size by
-one fourth.  Since this is the default behavior of \fBctags\fP, only
-\fBetags\fP accepts this option.
-.TP
-\fB\-i\fP \fIfile\fP, \fB\-\-include=\fIfile\fP
-Include a note in the tag file indicating that, when searching for a
-tag, one should also consult the tags file \fIfile\fP after checking the
-current file.  Only \fBetags\fP accepts this option.
-.TP
-.B \-I, \-\-ignore\-indentation
-Don't rely on indentation as much as we normally do.  Currently, this
-means not to assume that a closing brace in the first column is the
-final brace of a function or structure definition in C and C++.
-.TP
-\fB\-l\fP \fIlanguage\fP, \fB\-\-language=\fIlanguage\fP
-Parse the following files according to the given language.  More than
-one such options may be intermixed with filenames.  Use \fB\-\-help\fP
-to get a list of the available languages and their default filename
-extensions.  The `auto' language can be used to restore automatic
-detection of language based on the file name.  The `none'
-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.
-.TP
-.B \-\-no\-members
-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
-as belonging to the file \fBFILE\fP.
-.TP
-\fB\-o\fP \fItagfile\fP, \fB\-\-output=\fItagfile\fP
-Explicit name of file for tag table; overrides default \fBTAGS\fP or
-\fBtags\fP.   (But ignored with \fB\-v\fP or \fB\-x\fP.)
-.TP
-\fB\-r\fP \fIregexp\fP, \fB\-\-regex=\fIregexp\fP
-
-Make tags based on regexp matching for the files following this option,
-in addition to the tags made with the standard parsing based on
-language. May be freely intermixed with filenames and the \fB\-R\fP
-option.  The regexps are cumulative, i.e. each such option will add to
-the previous ones.  The regexps are of one of the forms:
-.br
-	[\fB{\fP\fIlanguage\fP\fB}\fP]\fB/\fP\fItagregexp/\fP[\fInameregexp\fP\fB/\fP]\fImodifiers\fP
-.br
-	\fB@\fP\fIregexfile\fP
-.br
-
-where \fItagregexp\fP is used to match the tag.  It should not match
-useless characters.  If the match is such that more characters than
-needed are unavoidably matched by \fItagregexp\fP, it may be useful to
-add a \fInameregexp\fP, to narrow down the tag scope.  \fBctags\fP
-ignores regexps without a \fInameregexp\fP.  The syntax of regexps is
-the same as in emacs.  The following character escape sequences are
-supported: \\a, \\b, \\d, \\e, \\f, \\n, \\r, \\t, \\v, which
-respectively stand for the ASCII characters BEL, BS, DEL, ESC, FF, NL,
-CR, TAB, VT.
-.br
-The \fImodifiers\fP are a sequence of 0 or more characters among
-\fIi\fP, which means to ignore case when matching; \fIm\fP, which means
-that the \fItagregexp\fP will be matched against the whole file contents
-at once, rather than line by line, and the matching sequence can match
-multiple lines; and \fIs\fP, which implies \fIm\fP and means that the
-dot character in \fItagregexp\fP matches the newline char as well.
-.br
-The separator, which is \fB/\fP in the examples, can be any character
-different from space, tab, braces and \fB@\fP.  If the separator
-character is needed inside the regular expression, it must be quoted
-by preceding it with \fB\\\fP.
-.br
-The optional \fB{\fP\fIlanguage\fP\fB}\fP prefix means that the tag
-should be
-created only for files of language \fIlanguage\fP, and ignored
-otherwise.  This is particularly useful when storing many predefined
-regexps in a file.
-.br
-In its second form, \fIregexfile\fP is the name of a file that contains
-a number of arguments to the \fI\-\-regex\=\fP option,
-one per line.  Lines beginning with a space or tab are assumed
-to be comments, and ignored.
-
-.br
-Here are some examples.  All the regexps are quoted to protect them
-from shell interpretation.
-.br
-
-Tag the DEFVAR macros in the emacs source files:
-.br
-\fI\-\-regex\='/[ \\t]*DEFVAR_[A-Z_ \\t(]+"\\([^"]+\\)"/'\fP
-.\"" This comment is to avoid confusion to Emacs syntax highlighting
-.br
-
-Tag VHDL files (this example is a single long line, broken here for
-formatting reasons):
-.br
-\fI\-\-language\=none\ \-\-regex='/[\ \\t]*\\(ARCHITECTURE\\|\\
-CONFIGURATION\\)\ +[^\ ]*\ +OF/'\ \-\-regex\='/[\ \\t]*\\
-\\(ATTRIBUTE\\|ENTITY\\|FUNCTION\\|PACKAGE\\(\ BODY\\)?\\
-\\|PROCEDURE\\|PROCESS\\|TYPE\\)[\ \\t]+\\([^\ \\t(]+\\)/\\3/'\fP
-.br
-
-Tag TCL files (this last example shows the usage of a \fItagregexp\fP):
-.br
-\fI\-\-lang\=none \-\-regex\='/proc[\ \\t]+\\([^\ \\t]+\\)/\\1/'\fP
-
-.br
-A regexp can be preceded by {\fIlang\fP}, thus restricting it to match
-lines of files of the specified language.  Use \fBetags \-\-help\fP to obtain
-a list of the recognised languages.  This feature is particularly useful inside
-\fBregex files\fP.  A regex file contains one regex per line.  Empty lines,
-and those lines beginning with space or tab are ignored.  Lines beginning
-with @ are references to regex files whose name follows the @ sign.  Other
-lines are considered regular expressions like those following \fB\-\-regex\fP.
-.br
-For example, the command
-.br
-\fIetags \-\-regex=@regex.file *.c\fP
-.br
-reads the regexes contained in the file regex.file.
-.TP
-.B \-R, \-\-no\-regex
-Don't do any more regexp matching on the following files.  May be
-freely intermixed with filenames and the \fB\-\-regex\fP option.
-.TP
-.B \-t, \-\-typedefs
-Record typedefs in C code as tags.  Since this is the default behavior
-of \fBetags\fP, only \fBctags\fP accepts this option.
-.TP
-.B \-T, \-\-typedefs\-and\-c++
-Generate tag entries for typedefs, struct, enum, and union tags, and
-C++ member functions.  Since this is the default behavior
-of \fBetags\fP, only \fBctags\fP accepts this option.
-.TP
-.B \-u, \-\-update
-Update tag entries for \fIfiles\fP specified on command line, leaving
-tag entries for other files in place.  Currently, this is implemented
-by deleting the existing entries for the given files and then
-rewriting the new entries at the end of the tags file.  It is often
-faster to simply rebuild the entire tag file than to use this.
-Only \fBctags\fP accepts this option.
-.TP
-.B \-v, \-\-vgrind
-Instead of generating a tag file, write index (in \fBvgrind\fP format)
-to standard output.  Only \fBctags\fP accepts this option.
-.TP
-.B \-x, \-\-cxref
-Instead of generating a tag file, write a cross reference (in
-\fBcxref\fP format) to standard output.  Only \fBctags\fP accepts this option.
-.TP
-.B \-h, \-H, \-\-help
-Print usage information.  Followed by one or more \-\-language=LANG
-prints detailed information about how tags are created for LANG.
-.TP
-.B \-V, \-\-version
-Print the current version of the program (same as the version of the
-emacs \fBetags\fP is shipped with).
