PTAGS(1)							      PTAGS(1)

NAME
       ptags - print tag information

SYNOPSIS
       ptags [-aflstceqQSv] [-T tagpath] [-N number] [object ...]

DESCRIPTION
       The  ptags  command  prints information about objects indexed in a tags
       file created by ctags(1).  If no objects are given  as  arguments  they
       are  read  from	stdin.	 The  -flstce  options specify which fields to
       print; if none of these options are  given,  the	 entire	 entry	(file,
       location,  size,	 type, caller list, callee list) is printed.  A string
       beginning with a slash, /words ..., may be appended to an object	 name,
       causing	only those index entries for object which also reference words
       to be printed.  For instance,
	    ptags new/timer.c
       attempts to print the  tag  information	for  new  found	 in  the  file
       timer.c.

OPTIONS
       -a     Print all occurrences of the given object.

       -f     Print the file in which each object is defined.

       -l     Print  the  location  (search  pattern  or  line number) of each
	      object definition.

       -s     Print the size of each object (in lines).

       -t     Print the type of each object (function, macro, global, etc).

       -c     Print the caller list for each object.

       -e     Print the callee list for each object.

       -q     Suppress error messages.

       -Q     Surround locations (search  patterns)  and  callee/caller	 lists
	      with  single quotes '...', to simplify the use of ptags in shell
	      scripts.

       -S     Attempt to locate and  print  the	 source	 text  for  the	 given
	      object.

       -v     Print ``tagfile: object:'' before the fields for each object.

       -T tagpath
	      Set  the	path  of tag files searched to tagpath (the default is
	      $TAGS).  Giving the -T option more than once appends to the path
	      (i.e., -T"a b" is equivalent to -T a -T b).

       -N number
	      If  there's  more than one occurrence of the given object, print
	      at most number of them (default is 1).

DIAGNOSTICS
       Exits with status 1 if a tag was not found.

FILES
       tags	 default tags file searched
