ebrowse database file format documentation?

ebrowse database file format documentation?

[Mike]

Hi folks...I'm interested in a document that describes in detail the
actual database file format that ebrowse generates.  It looks like
it's just lisp data, but I'm wondering if anybody has stuff to read
(other than the elisp source) that explains what each record means,
the fields, arrity, etc. etc.  Where's the DTD?  =)

thanks in advance...

Mike

See the `defstruct's in ebrowse.el, and their doc strings.  That
should be enough to get you off the ground.

Thanks, yeah...I figured when no one answered that I probably asked a
dumb question.  =)

I don't know elisp too well, but the comments in there are great.
