Exuberant Ctags

Exuberant Ctags is a cool tool that helps you manage your code across different programming languages. If you work with languages like C, C++, Eiffel, Fortran, or Java, this software is super handy. It creates an index file—also known as a "tag" file—that makes it easy to find specific parts of your code.

What Does Exuberant Ctags Do?

The main job of Ctags is to generate these tag files for language objects found in your source code. So, when you're coding and need to find something quickly, you can use this tag file to locate it easily.

How It Works with Editors

A "tag" refers to a language object that has an index entry available. This means if you're using a text editor that supports tag files—like Vi, Vim, emacs, or Zeus—you can jump right to the line in your source code where the object is defined. It saves time and keeps everything organized!

Supported Editors

You’ll be glad to know that many popular editors support these tag files! Some of them include:

• Vi


• Vim


• emacs


• Lemmy


• NEdit


• TSE


• X2


• Zeus


• CRiSP


• FTE

This wide support means you can choose the editor you like best and still benefit from using Exuberant Ctags.
