.Nm Gtags
makes GTAGS, GRTAGS and GSYMS file for
.Xr global 1 .
.Nm Gtags
trace subdirectories, read source files,
locate symbols and save the information into tag files.
C, yacc and assembler source files are supported.
You should execute this command at the root of the source tree.
.Pp
If your source directory is on a read only device like CDROM, specify
.Ar dbpath
of the directory on which make tag files.

.Sh BUG
GTAGS, GRTAGS and GSYMS are very large.
In advance of using this command, check the space of your disk.
.br
Assembler support is far from completeness. It extracts only ENTRY()
and ALTENTRY() from source file. Probably valid only for FreeBSD and Linux
kernel source.
.br
There is no concurrency control about tag files.
