URL : http://ctags.sourceforge.net/

Description : Ctags generates an index (or tag) file of C language objects found
: in C source and header files. The index makes it easy for text
: editors or other utilities to locate the indexed items. Ctags can
: also generate a cross reference file which lists information about
: the various objects found in a set of C language files in human
: readable form. Exuberant Ctags improves on ctags because it can
: find all types of C language tags, including macro definitions,
: enumerated values (values inside enum{...}), function and method
: definitions, enum/struct/union tags, external function prototypes,
: typedef names and variable declarations. Exuberant Ctags is far
: less likely to be fooled by code containing #if preprocessor
: conditional constructs than ctags. Exuberant ctags supports
: output of Emacs style TAGS files and can be used to print out a
: list of selected objects found in source files.
