Description-en: Source code search and browse tools
GNU GLOBAL is a source code tag system that works the same way across
diverse environments. Currently, it supports the following:
.
o command line, and the 'globash' query subshell.
o vim plugin, and support for other vi clones.
o less
o emacs
o web browser
.
Supported languages are C, C++, yacc and Java.
You can locate a specified function in the source files and move
there easily. It is especially useful for hacking large projects
containing many subdirectories, many '#ifdef' and many main()
functions, like X or kernel source.
.
This package include the htmake(1) extension which allows GLOBAL's
hypertext search function to be implemented from a single central
cgi script.
.
Doxygen now supports using global as its source browser, with the
USE_HTAGS option.
