Although it is +primarily designed to search C code (including lex and yacc files), it +can also be used for C++ code. + +Using cscope, you can easily search for where symbols are used and +defined. Cscope is designed to answer questions like: + + Where is this variable used? + What is the value of this preprocessor symbol? + Where is this function in the source files? + What functions call this function? + What functions are called by this function? + Where does the message "out of space" come from? + Where is this source file in the directory structure? + What files include this header file? + +It has been released by The Santa Cruz Operation, Inc as Open Source +under the BSD license. Please look at COPYING for a detailed +description of the license. + +For instructions on how to build and install cscope, see the file, +"INSTALL". + +One thing to be pointed out is that this is ancient Unix software +predating much of today's security concerns. While we do try to +address safety issues as we learn about them, it must be said that +this is in no way hardened or secure software. It's designed to be +used by developers, not administrators or anonymous users. + +Browse to http://cscope.sourceforge.net for more current information + |
