etags(1)						      General Commands Manual							  etags(1)

NAME

       etags - Generates a tags file for the emacs or mule editor

SYNOPSIS

       etags  [-a   |  -append]  [-C   |  -c++]  [-D   |  -no-defines] [-i tagsfile2 | -include=tagsfile2] [-o tagsfile | -output=tagsfile] [-S  |
       -ignore-indentation] [-H  | -help] [-V  | -version] filename...

OPTIONS

       Appends output to an existing vi-format tags file. (Supports operation of the emacs editor in vi mode.)	Treats files with or extensions as
       C++,  rather than C, code. The etags command always treats files with extensions as C++ code.  Does not create tag entries for C preproces-
       sor definitions.  If many header files are tagged, using this option may make the tags file much smaller.  Includes a note  in  the  output
       tags  file  to  indicate that, when searching for a tag, one should also consult the tagsfile2 tags file.  Explicitly names the output tags
       file; overrides the default name, which is TAGS.  Instructs etags not to rely on indentation to determine nesting  level.  Currently,  this
       means  not  to  assume  that a closing brace in the first column is the final brace in a function or structure definition in C or C++ code.
       Prints usage information.  Prints the current version of the program.

OPERANDS

       Specifies the input language source file, or files, to be processed.

DESCRIPTION

       The etags program creates a tag table file in a format understood by the emacs editor. The program understands the syntax of C,	C++,  For-
       tran, Pascal, and Lisp source files. It reads the source files specified on the command line and writes a tag table (named TAGS by default)
       in the working directory. Recognition of the language used in an input file is based on the filename extension and file contents; there are
       no options for specifying the language.

NOTES

       The etags program is software distributed by the Free Software Foundation.
