produce tags-file for several directories with etags

produce tags-file for several directories with etags

[Fabian Braennstroem]

Hello,

I want to produce a tags-file for a code which is spread over several
directories. I am not able to find any option for etags to handle this. Just
with the simple 'etags *' I get following for all directories:

 'directory': it is not a regular file.

Does anybody have an idea?

Greetings!

I see from the headers that you are on linux.  Then you certainly have
the 'find' command.  Try the following command from the root directory
of your source tree:

etags `find . -type f`

Or use ctags -e -R (at least with exuberant-ctags)

This is a function that I use to create a tags file for all files in
the current directory and all its sub-directories:

(defun create-tags-here ()
  "Create tags file with current directory as root."
  (interactive)
  (shell-command "find . -type f -name *.[hC] | etags -"))

Thanks to all!
I used the last 'find. -type f ...' in the shell... works fine :-)
