Exuberant Ctags Ctags generates an index (or tag) file of C language objects found in C source and header files that allows these items to be quickly and easily located by a text editor or other utility. A tag signifies a C language object for which an index entry is available (or, alternatively, the index entry created for that object). Alternatively, ctags can generate a cross reference file which lists, in human-readable form, information about the various objects found in a set of C language files. Exuberant Ctags extends the original ctags with many features, also generating tags for macros, enumerated values, function definitions, external function prototypes, etc. Can also generate Emacs-style tag files.
