etags [options] files
Create a list of function and macro names defined in a program-
ming source file. etags generates tags for use by emacs.(ctags
produces an equivalent tags file for use with vi.) More than one file
may be specified. etags understands many programming languages,
including C, C++, FORTRAN, Java, Perl, Python, flex, yacc, and
bison. The output list (named TAGS by default) contains lines of
the form:
name file context
where name is the function or macro name, file is the source file in
which name is defined, and context is a search pattern that shows
the line of code containing name. After the list of tags is created,
you can invoke Emacs on any file and type:
M-x visit-tags-table
You will be prompted for the name of the tag table; the default is
TAGS. To switch to the source file associated with the name listed

for.
