Exuberant Ctags For Mac

Exuberant Ctags is a multilanguage reimplementation of the much-underused ctags(1) program and is intended to be the mother of all ctags programs.

Exuberant Ctags generates indexes of source code definitions which are used by a number of editors and tools.

The motivation which drove the development of Exuberant Ctags was the need for a ctags program which supported generation of tags for all possible C language constructs (which no other ctags offers), and because most were easily fooled by a number of preprocessor contructs.

Ctags generates an index of source code definitions which is used by numerous editors and utilities to instantly locate the definitions.

Ctags generates an index (or tag) file of language objects found in source files that allows these items to be quickly and easily located by a text editor or other utility. A tag signifies a language object for which an index entry is available (or, alternatively, the index entry created for that object).

Tag generation is supported for the following languages: Assembler, C, C++, COBOL, Eiffel, Fortran, AWK, ASP, Lua, Make, Pascal, Perl, PHP, Python, BETA, Bourne/Korn/Zsh Shell, Java, Lisp, REXX, Ruby, S-Lang, Scheme, Tcl, Vim, and YACC.
