Itgenerates indexes of source code definitions which are used by a number ofeditors and tools. The motivation which drove the development of ExuberantCtags was the need for a ctags program which supported generation of tagsfor all possible C language constructs (which no other ctags offers), andbecause most were easily fooled by a number of preprocessor contructs.Exuberant Ctags offers the following features:1.  It supports the following languages: Assembler, AWK, ASP, BETA,    Bourne/Korn/Z Shell, C, C++, C#, COBOL, Eiffel, Erlang, Fortran, Java, Lisp,    Lua, Makefile, Pascal, Perl, PHP, PL/SQL, Python, REXX, Ruby, Scheme,    S-Lang, SML (Standard ML), Tcl, Vera, Verilog, Vim, and YACC.2.  It is capable of generating tags for virtually all C language constructs.3.  It is very robust in parsing code. In particular, the C/C++ parser is    far less easily fooled by code containing #if preprocessor conditional    constructs, using a conditional path selection algorithm to resolve    complicated situations, and a fall-back algorithm when this one fails.4.  Supports output of Emacs-style TAGS files (i.e. "etags").5.  User-defined languages, using Posix regular expressions.6.  Supports UNIX, MSDOS, Windows 95/98/NT/2000/XP, OS/2, QNX, Amiga, QDOS,    RISC OS, VMS, Macintosh, and Cray. Some pre-compiled binaries are    available on the web site.Visit the Exuberant Ctags web site:    http://ctags.sourceforge.netWhich brings us to the most obvious question:  Q: Why is it called "Exuberant" ctags?  A: Because one of the meanings of the word is:     exuberant : produced in extreme abundance : PLENTIFUL syn see PROFUSECompare the tag file produced by Exuberant Ctags with that produced by anyother ctags and you will see how appropriate the name is.This source code is distributed according to the terms of the GNU GeneralPublic License. It is provided on an as-is basis and no responsibility isaccepted for its failure to perform as expected. It is worth at least asmuch as you paid for it!Exuberant Ctags was originally derived from and inspired by the ctagsprogram by Steve Kirkendall (kirkenda@cs.pdx.edu) that comes with the Elvisvi clone (though almost none of the original code remains). This, too, isfreely available.Please report any problems you find. The two problems I expect to be mostlikely are either a tag which you expected but is missing, or a tag createdin error (shouldn't really be a tag). Please include a sample of code (thedefinition) for the object which misbehaves.--vim:tw=76:sw=4:et:
