NAME
- OCTAVE-TAGS - Generate Emacs tags file from GNU Octave
- code
SYNOPSIS
octave-tags [--include dir] file ...
DESCRIPTION
- octave-tags program is used to create a tag table file, in
- a format understood by emacs(1) and xemacs(1). octave-tags reads
- the files specified on the command line, and write a tag table
- (defaults: `TAGS') in the current working directory. Files speci
- fied with relative file names will be recorded in the tag table
- with file names relative to the directory where the tag table re
- sides. Files specified with absolute file names will be record
- ed with absolute file names.
- The --include option can be used to specify another direc
- toy with Octave files for which tags shall be generated.
- Tags are generated for function names and for global vari
- ables. For global variables it doesn't work for more than one
- line global variables.
- Tags are also created for lines of the form '###key foo
- bar' so that you can jump to this specific place just by typing
- `M-. foobar'. Note that tags are not generated for scripts so
- that you have to add a line by yourself of the form `###key
- <script-name>' if you want to jump to it.
