NAME¶
cscope-indexer - Script to index files for cscope
SYNOPSIS¶
cscope-indexer [-v] [-f database_file] [-i
list_file] [
-l] [
-r]
DESCRIPTION¶
This script generates a list of files to index (cscope.out), which is then
(optionally) used to generate a cscope database. You can use this script to
just build a list of files, or it can be used to build a list and database.
This script is not used to just build a database (skipping the list of files
step), as this can be simply done by just calling "cscope -b".
Normally, cscope will do its own indexing, but this script can be used to force
indexing. This is useful if you need to recurse into subdirectories, or have
many files to index (you can run this script from a cron job, during the
night). It is especially useful for large projects, which can contstantly have
source files added and deleted; by using this script, the changing sources
files are automatically handled.
Currently, any paths containing "/CVS/" or "/RCS/" are
stripped out (ignored).
OPTIONS¶
- -f database_file
- Specifies the cscope database file (default: cscope.out).
- -i list_file
- Specifies the name of the file into which the list of files to index is
placed (default: cscope.files).
- -l
- Suppress the generation/updating of the cscope database file. Only a list
of files is generated.
- -r
- Recurse into subdirectories to locate files to index. Without this option,
only the current directory is searched.
- -v
- Be verbose. Output simple progress messages.
