Updated by FastRunner on Thursday, September 06th 2007.

Ctags generates an index (or "tag") file for C, C++, Eiffel, Fortran,and Java language objects found in source files. This tag file allowsthese items to be quickly and easily located by a text editor orother utility. A "tag" signifies a language object for which anindex entry is available (or, alternatively, the index entry createdfor that object). Tag index files are supported by numerous editors,which allow the user to locate the object associated with a nameappearing in a source file and jump to the file and line whichdefines the name. The editors currently know to support tag filesare Vi, Vim, Vile, Lemmy, emacs, CRiSP, FTE, NEdit, TSE, X2, andZeus.

A programmer should use 'ctags' as often as 'make' or his 'vi'.

If you use vim as your editor for various programming languages, you simply won't want to be without exuberant ctags. The ctags on standard Unix systems is OK and certainly better than nothing, but exuberant ctags is an excellent tool that will save you lots of time. Two major features are 1) the ability to handle a number of different languages like awk, sh, perl, python, C/C++ and Java; 2) the ability to capture definitions of macros and structures. The whole point of these tools is to let you navigate code quickly and it's hard to imagine a better tool than exuberant ctags to use with vim. If you like using vi, it'd be a shame if you didn't get a copy of vim, a much-improved editor over vi.

This is a a very good package; I rated it 4/5 since it is very cool and useful; but somewhat incompatible with older etags, so I had to change some Makefile that use it, and it doesn't handle lex programs.

Very powerful tool

I have used exuberant Ctags on several medium to large projects. Its ability to recurse through a directory automatically and build the TAGS table is much more convenient than the traditional tags that is shipped with the FSF distribution. Between Ctags, id-utils and the Emacs editor, I can browse through code far more conveniently than most commercial browsers

I'm the envy of all my co-workers...

...when they see I can easily walk through code without ever touching Visual Studio!
