Ctags generates an index (or tag) file of language objects found in source files that allows these items to be quickly and easily located by a text editor or other utility.
It is a multilanguage reimplementation of the Unix ctags utility
A tag signifies a language object for which an index entry is available (or, alternatively, the index entry created for that object).
Tag generation is supported for Eiffel, plus the following languages: Assembler, AWK, ASP, BETA, Bourne/Korn/Zsh Shell, C, C++, COBOL, Fortran, Java, Lisp, Lua, Make, Pascal, Perl, PHP, Python, REXX, Ruby, S-Lang, Scheme, Tcl, Vim, and YACC.
Exuberant ctags itself is written in C.
