Renumber cluase 4 to 3, per what everybody else did when BSD granted them permission to remove clause 3. My insistance on keeping the same numbering for legal reasons is too pedantic, so give up on that point.

.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
utility makes a
|
|
.Pa tags
|
|
file for
|
|
.Xr ex 1
|
|
from the specified C,
|
|
Pascal, Fortran,
|
|
.Xr yacc 1 ,
|
|
.Xr lex 1 ,
|
|
and Lisp sources.
|
|
A tags file gives the locations of specified objects in a group of files.
|
|
Each line of the tags file contains the object name, the file in which it
|
|
is defined, and a search pattern for the object definition, separated by
|
|
white-space.
|
|
Using the
|
|
.Pa tags
|
|
file,
|
|
.Xr ex 1
|
|
can quickly locate these object definitions.
|
|
Depending upon the options provided to
|
|
.Nm ,
|
|
objects will consist of subroutines, typedefs, defines, structs,
|
|
enums and unions.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The following options are available:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width indent
|
|
.It Fl B
|
|
Use backward searching patterns
|
|
.Pq Li ?...? .
|
|
.It Fl F
|
|
Use forward searching patterns
|
|
.Pq Li /.../
|
|
(the default).
|
|
.It Fl T
|
|
Do not create tags for typedefs, structs, unions, and enums.
|
|
.It Fl a
|
|
Append to
|
|
.Pa tags
|
|
file.
|
|
.It Fl d
|
|
Create tags for
|
|
.Li #defines
|
|
that do not take arguments;
|
|
.Li #defines
|
|
that take arguments are tagged automatically.
|
|
.It Fl f
|
|
Place the tag descriptions in a file called
|
|
.Ar tagsfile .
|
|
The default behaviour is to place them in a file called
|
|
.Pa tags .
|
|
.It Fl u
|
|
Update the specified files in the
|
|
.Pa tags
|
|
file, that is, all
|
|
references to them are deleted, and the new values are appended to the
|
|
file.
|
|
(Beware: this option is implemented in a way which is rather
|
|
slow; it is usually faster to simply rebuild the
|
|
.Pa tags
|
|
file.)
|
|
.It Fl v
|
|
An index of the form expected by
|
|
.Xr vgrind 1
|
|
is produced on the standard output.
|
|
This listing
|
|
contains the object name, file name, and page number (assuming 64
|
|
line pages).
|
|
Since the output will be sorted into lexicographic order,
|
|
it may be desired to run the output through
|
|
.Xr sort 1 .
|
|
Sample use:
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
ctags -v files | sort -f > index
|
|
vgrind -x index
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.It Fl w
|
|
Suppress warning diagnostics.
|
|
.It Fl x
|
|
.Nm
|
|
produces a list of object
|
|
names, the line number and file name on which each is defined, as well
|
|
as the text of that line and prints this on the standard output.
|
|
This
|
|
is a simple index which can be printed out as an off-line readable
|
|
function index.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Files whose names end in
|
|
.Pa .c
|
|
or
|
|
.Pa .h
|
|
are assumed to be C
|
|
source files and are searched for C style routine and macro definitions.
|
|
Files whose names end in
|
|
.Pa .y
|
|
are assumed to be
|
|
.Xr yacc 1
|
|
source files.
|
|
Files whose names end in
|
|
.Pa .l
|
|
are assumed to be Lisp files if their
|
|
first non-blank character is
|
|
.Ql \&; ,
|
|
.Ql \&( ,
|
|
or
|
|
.Ql \&[ ,
|
|
otherwise, they are
|
|
treated as
|
|
.Xr lex 1
|
|
files.
|
|
Other files are first examined to see if they
|
|
contain any Pascal or Fortran routine definitions, and, if not, are
|
|
searched for C style definitions.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The tag
|
|
.Dq Li main
|
|
is treated specially in C programs.
|
|
The tag formed
|
|
is created by prepending
|
|
.Ql M
|
|
to the name of the file, with the
|
|
trailing
|
|
.Pa .c
|
|
and any leading pathname components removed.
|
|
This makes use of
|
|
.Nm
|
|
practical in directories with more than one
|
|
program.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Xr yacc 1
|
|
and
|
|
.Xr lex 1
|
|
files each have a special tag.
|
|
.Dq Li yyparse
|
|
is the start
|
|
of the second section of the
|
|
.Xr yacc 1
|
|
file, and
|
|
.Dq Li yylex
|
|
is the start of
|
|
the second section of the
|
|
.Xr lex 1
|
|
file.

.Sh EXIT STATUS
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
utility exits with a value of 1 if an error occurred, 0 otherwise.
|
|
Duplicate objects are not considered errors.
|
|
.Sh COMPATIBILITY
|
|
The
|
|
.Fl t
|
|
option is a no-op for compatibility with previous versions of
|
|
.Nm
|
|
that did not create tags for typedefs, enums, structs and unions
|
|
by default.

|

.Sh STANDARDS
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
utility conforms to
|
|
.St -p1003.1-2001 .
|
|
.Sh HISTORY
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
utility appeared in
|
|
.Bx 3.0 .
|
|
.Sh BUGS
|
|
Recognition of functions, subroutines and procedures
|
|
for Fortran and Pascal is done in a very simpleminded way.
|
|
No attempt
|
|
is made to deal with block structure; if you have two Pascal procedures
|
|
in different blocks with the same name you lose.
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
utility does not
|
|
understand about Pascal types.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The method of deciding whether to look for C, Pascal or
|
|
Fortran
|
|
functions is a hack.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
utility relies on the input being well formed, and any syntactical
|
|
errors will completely confuse it.
|
|
It also finds some legal syntax
|
|
confusing; for example, since it does not understand
|
|
.Li #ifdef Ns 's
|
|
(incidentally, that is a feature, not a bug), any code with unbalanced
|
|
braces inside
|
|
.Li #ifdef Ns 's
|
|
will cause it to become somewhat disoriented.
|
|
In a similar fashion, multiple line changes within a definition will
|
|
cause it to enter the last line of the object, rather than the first, as
|
|
the searching pattern.
|
|
The last line of multiple line
|
|
.Li typedef Ns 's
|
|
will similarly be noted.
