* How to find tags file in a recursive way? @ 2007-06-15 6:33 Weihua Jiang 2007-06-15 10:36 ` Petter Gustad 0 siblings, 1 reply; 3+ messages in thread From: Weihua Jiang @ 2007-06-15 6:33 UTC (permalink / raw) To: help-gnu-emacs That is, emacs will search for tags file in current directory. If not found, it will search in parent directory and so on. This is a functionality VIM provided. I find it is quite useful when I processing deep directories. How to use such feature in emacs? I get vtags.el from emacswiki. It is claimed to have such capability. However, I don't know how to use it. Or, is there other ways to meet my needs? thanks Weihua ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 3+ messages in thread

I don't know the answer to your question, but for many purposes I found the following quite useful: find . -name '*.[chS]' -print0 | xargs -0 etags Then use the single TAGS file for the whole source-tree.
