NAME

ootags - generate tag file for OO-Browser

SYNOPSIS

ootags [ options ] [[ regex-option ... ] file-name ] ...

DESCRIPTION

ootags is part of, and intended to be used directly by,

the OO-Browser running under emacs. While ootags is a modified

(and rather old) version of etags (1) and can be used in similar

ways, it is intended to be used automatically by OO-Browser.

If properly installed, the OO-Browser User Manual is in

your info (1) directory.

OPTIONS

These are the options accepted by ootags. A - as file

name means read names from stdin (one per line). Absolute names

are stored in the output file as they are. Relative ones are

stored relative to the output file's directory.

-a Append tag entries to existing tags file.

-C Treat files whose name suffix defaults to C lan

guage as C++ files.

-D Don't create tag entries for C #define constants

and enum constants. This makes the tags file smaller.

-i file

Include a note in tag file indicating that, when

searching for a tag, one should also consult the tags file file

after checking the current file.

-l lang

Force the following files to be considered as writ

ten in the named language up to the next -l lang option.

-o file

Write the tags to file.

-O Generate a specialized tags format used only by the

OO-Browser.

-I Don't rely on indentation quite as much as normal.

Currently, this means not to assume that a closing brace in the

first column is the final brace of a function or structure defi

nition in C and C++.

-V Print the version of the program.

-h Print a help message.

LANGUAGES

These are the currently supported languages, along with

the default file name suffixes:

asm .a .asm .def .inc .ins .s .sa .src
c .c .h
c++ .C .H .c++ .cc .cpp .cxx .h++ .hh .hpp

.hxx .M .pdb
c* .cs .hs
cobol .COB .cob
erlang .erl .hrl
fortran .F .f .f90 .for
java .java
lisp .cl .clisp .el .l .lisp .lsp .ml
pascal .p .pas
perl .pl .pm
postscript .ps
proc .pc .m .lm
prolog .prolog
python .py
scheme .SCM .SM .oak .sch .scheme .scm .sm .ss .t tex .TeX .bib .clo .cls .ltx .sty .tex
yacc .y .ym
auto
none

Where `auto' means use default language for files based on

file name suffix, and `none' means only do regexp processing on

files. If no language is specified and no matching suffix is

found, the first line of the file is read for a sharp-bang (#!)

sequence followed by the name of an interpreter. If no such se

quence is found, Fortran is tried first; if no tags are found, C

is tried next.
