.TH CTAGS UCB 2/24/79 UCB
ctags \- compute a tags file for a C program
from the specified C programs.
A tags file gives the locations of specified objects (in this case
functions) in a group of files.
Each line of the tags file contains the function name,
the file in which it is defined, and a scanning pattern used to find
the function definition. These are given in separate fields on the line,
separated by blanks or tabs.

This tags program is a primitive shell script, and requires functions
to be recognizable by their starting in the first column of
input lines on lines ending with a `)'.
No way to use it to incrementally update a tags file.
For tags to be more useful, a good
program is needed which references external and macro definitions in
header files as well as being less sensitive to formatting.
