.SH DESCRIPTION
format understood by
.BR vi ( 1 )\c
\&. Both forms of the program understand
-the syntax of C, Objective C, C++, Java, Fortran, Pascal, Cobol,
-LaTeX, Scheme, Emacs Lisp/Common Lisp, Postscript, Erlang, Prolog and
+the syntax of C, Objective C, C++, Java, Fortran, Pascal, Cobol, Ada, Perl,
+LaTeX, Scheme, Emacs Lisp/Common Lisp, Postscript, Erlang, Python, Prolog and
most assembler\-like syntaxes.
Both forms read the files specified on the command line, and write a tag
table (defaults: `\|TAGS\|' for \fBetags\fP, `\|tags\|' for
code. Files with `\|.C\|', `\|.H\|', `\|.cxx\|', `\|.hxx\|', or
`\|.cc\|' extensions are always assumed to be C++ code.
.TP
+.B \-\-declarations
+In C and derived languages, create tags for function declarations,
+and create tags for extern variables unless \-\-no\-globals is used.
+.TP
.B \-d, \-\-defines
-Create tag entries for C preprocessor constant definitions
+Create tag entries for C preprocessor constant definitions
and enum constants, too. This is the
-default behavior for \fBetags\fP, so this option is only accepted
-by \fBctags\fP.
+default behavior for \fBetags\fP.
.TP
.B \-D, \-\-no\-defines
Do not create tag entries for C preprocessor constant definitions
and enum constants.
This may make the tags file much smaller if many header files are tagged.
-This is the default behavior for \fBctags\fP, so this option is only
-accepted by \fBetags\fP.
+This is the default behavior for \fBctags\fP.
+.TP
+.B \-g, \-\-globals
+Create tag entries for global variables in C, C++, Objective C, Java,
+and Perl.
+This is the default behavior for \fBetags\fP.
+.TP
+.B \-G, \-\-no\-globals
+Do not tag global variables. Typically this reduces the file size by
+one fourth. This is the default behavior for \fBctags\fP.
+.TP
+\fB\-i\fP \fIfile\fP, \fB\-\-include=\fIfile\fP
+Include a note in the tag file indicating that, when searching for a
+tag, one should also consult the tags file \fIfile\fP after checking the
+current file. This options is only accepted by \fBetags\fP.
+.TP
+.B \-I, \-\-ignore\-indentation
+Don't rely on indentation as much as we normally do. Currently, this
+means not to assume that a closing brace in the first column is the
+final brace of a function or structure definition in C and C++.
.TP
\fB\-l\fP \fIlanguage\fP, \fB\-\-language=\fIlanguage\fP
Parse the following files according to the given language. More than
language may be used to disable language parsing altogether; only
regexp matching is done in this case (see the \fB\-\-regex\fP option).
.TP
-\fB\-\-no_globals\fP
-Do not tag global variables in C, C++, Objective C, Java. Typically
-this reduces the file size by one fourth.
+.B \-m, \-\-members
+Create tag entries for variables that are members of structure-like
+constructs in C++, Objective C, Java.
.TP
-\fB\-\-members\fP
-Tag variables that are members of strucure-like constructs in C++,
-Objective C, Java.
+.B \-M, \-\-no\-members
+Do not tag member variables. This is the default behavior.
+.TP
+.B \-\-packages\-only
+Only tag packages in Ada files.
.TP
\fB\-o\fP \fItagfile\fP, \fB\-\-output=\fItagfile\fP
Explicit name of file for tag table; overrides default `\|TAGS\|' or
`\|tags\|'. (But ignored with \fB\-v\fP or \fB\-x\fP.)
.TP
\fB\-r\fP \fIregexp\fP, \fB\-\-regex=\fIregexp\fP
-Make tags based on regexp matching for each line of the files
-following this option, in addition to the tags made with the standard
-parsing based on language. May be freely intermixed with filenames
-and the \fB\-R\fP option. The regexps are cumulative, i.e. each
-option will add to the previous ones. The regexps are of the form:
+\fB\-\-ignore\-case\-regex=\fIregexp\fP\
+Make tags based on regexp matching for each line of the files following
+this option, in addition to the tags made with the standard parsing based
+on language. When using \-\-regex, case is significant, while it is not
+with \-\-ignore\-case\-regex. May be freely intermixed with filenames and
+the \fB\-R\fP option. The regexps are cumulative, i.e. each option will
+add to the previous ones. The regexps are of the form:
.br
-
- \fB/\fP\fItagregexp\fP[\fB/\fP\fInameregexp\fP]\fB/\fP
+ \fB/\fP\fItagregexp\fP[\fB/\fP\fInameregexp\fP]\fB/\fP
.br
where \fItagregexp\fP is used to match the lines that must be tagged.
such that more characters than needed are unavoidably matched by
\fItagregexp\fP, it may be useful to add a \fInameregexp\fP, to
narrow down the tag scope. \fBctags\fP ignores regexps without a
-\fInameregexp\fP. The syntax of regexps is the same as in emacs,
-augmented with intervals of the form \\{m,n\\}, as id ed or grep.
+\fInameregexp\fP. The syntax of regexps is the same as in emacs,
+augmented with intervals of the form \\{m,n\\}, as in ed or grep.
.br
Here are some examples. All the regexps are quoted to protect them
from shell interpretation.
.br
\fI\-\-lang\=none \-\-regex\='/proc[\ \\t]+\\([^\ \\t]+\\)/\\1/'\fP
+.br
+A regexp can be preceded by {lang}, thus restriciting it to match lines of
+files of the specified language. Use \fBetags --help\bP to obtain a list
+of the recognised languages. This feature is particularly useful inside
+\fBregex files\fB. A regex file contains one regex per line. Empty lines,
+and those lines beginning with space or tab are ignored. Lines beginning
+with @ are references to regex files whose name follows the @ sign. Other
+lines are considered regular expressions like those following \-\-regex.
+.br
+For example, the command
+.br
+etags \-\-regex=@regex.file *.c
+.br
+reads the regexes contained in the file regex.file.
.TP
.B \-R, \-\-no\-regex
Don't do any more regexp matching on the following files. May be
freely intermixed with filenames and the \fB\-\-regex\fP option.
.TP
-.B \-S, \-\-ignore\-indentation
-Don't rely on indentation as much as we normally do. Currently, this
-means not to assume that a closing brace in the first column is the
-final brace of a function or structure definition in C and C++.
-.TP
.B \-t, \-\-typedefs
Record typedefs in C code as tags. Since this is the default behaviour
of \fBetags\fP, only \fBctags\fP accepts this option.
Instead of generating a tag file, write a cross reference (in
\fBcxref\fP format) to standard output. Only \fBctags\fP accepts this option.
.TP
-.B \-H, \-\-help
+.B \-h, \-H, \-\-help
Print usage information.

.B \-V, \-\-version
