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.
