It is based on camlp4 parsers of caml, which makes it more accurate than versions based on regexps : otags finds references to constructors of sum types, fields of records, etc. Usage : To build TAGS for a set of files: otags file1.ml file2.ml ... To build TAGS for all .ml files in a directory: otags dir To build TAGS recusively: otags -r dir Theses syntaxes can be mixed, see otags -help for list of options available. When searching directories, processed files are those matching the "suffix list", which is set by default to: [".mli";".ml"]. This list can be edited using the options -sc, -sa and -sr which, respectively clears, add entries and removes entries in this list. Addtional parser can be trown to Camlp4 using the -pa option Otags X.Y version number match Ocaml version number. See HISTORY for old versions / Ocaml matching. =========================================================================== Supposed syntax for TAGS (.tags) files, as analysed from output of etags, read in etags.c and discussed with Francesco Potorti. ::= + ::=
