NAME
OCTAVE-TAGS - Generate Emacs tags file from GNU Octave code
SYNOPSIS
octave-tags [--include dir] file ...
DESCRIPTION
octave-tags program is used to create a tag table file, in a format
understood by emacs(1) and xemacs(1). octave-tags reads the files
specified on the command line, and write a tag table (defaults: ‘TAGS’)
in the current working directory. Files specified with relative file
names will be recorded in the tag table with file names relative to
the directory where the tag table resides. Files specified with
absolute file names will be recorded with absolute file names.
The --include option can be used to specify another directoy with
Octave files for which tags shall be generated.
Tags are generated for function names and for global variables. For
global variables it doesn’t work for more than one line global
variables.
Tags are also created for lines of the form ’###key foobar’ so that you
can jump to this specific place just by typing ‘M-. foobar’. Note that
tags are not generated for scripts so that you have to add a line by
yourself of the form ‘###key <script-name>’ if you want to jump to it.
