VTAGS(1L)

NAME
vtags - VHDL TAGS file generator.

SYNOPSIS
vtags[-r] [-R] [-u] [-q] [-e [file_extension,[file_extension,[...]]] [-f file_path] [path,[path,[...]]

DESCRIPTION
vtags will generate a tags file that can be used by tagging editors like vi(m). It is designed to generate tags from VHDL '87 files. It should work with later versions of VHDL but does not support all the language constructs. The most important of these being 'configuration'. It will generate a tags file that is compatible with ctags generated files. This means it should work with any tagging editor. But this has only been tested with vim.

ARGUMENTS

path_list[path,[path,[...]]
    This is a comma separated list of files and directories that are to be searched for files that match the extension list (or the default one). This files will be used to generate the tags file.

-e [file_extension,[file_extension,[...]]
    Extension List. This is a comma separated list of file types that will be searched. The default is vhdl,vhd. These will be searched both as upper and lower case.

-f file_name
    Tags File. The TAGS file to generate. If this is not present it will default to "./tags". If name = '-' then its written to stdout.

-l [1|2]
    Format level.
        Level 1 not extensions, just the basic tags.
        Level 2 add the extensions (;") stuff.

OPTIONS

-R  Recursive mode. This will cause the program to search the sub-directories as well.
