NAME

pstags - create a POSTSCRIPT language or NeWS tags file for use with vi

SYNOPSIS

pstags [ -f tagsfile ] [ files ]

DESCRIPTION

pstags makes a tags file for ex(1) from a POSTSCRIPT language or NeWS source file. See ctags(1) for more information. pstags tags lines with the string cdef and lines with the hint pstag=<tagname> embedded anywhere in a comment.

The default tagfile is tags.ps. Because this is not in the default tag search path, the command

set tags=tags tags.ps

is required in vi(1), or in the user's .exrc file to initialize that path. Depending on the system, a backslash may be required to escape the space between tags and tags.ps.

OPTIONS

None.

EXAMPLES

Using pstags on a file containing the function definition

     cdef function_name(int arg)

produces the tag function_name.

Inserting the comment:

     / name { % object => - pstag=<name>

in the source file yields the tag name for that line. Note that it is the string within the <...> that is used as the tag.

FILES

tags.ps             output tags file

SEE ALSO

ctags(1), ex(1), psindent(1), vgrind(1), vi(1)

BUGS

Should be able to identify the tags without the hint in the comment.
