Summary : A C programming language indexing and/or cross-reference tool
URL : https://ctags.io/
License : GPLv2+
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.
:
: Install ctags if you are going to use your system for C programming.
