2 .SH NAME
3 shtags \- Create tags for shell scripts
4 .SH SYNOPSIS
5 .B shtags
6 [\fI-mvw\fP] [\fI-t <file>\fP] [\fI-s <shell>\fP] <files>
7 .SH DESCRIPTION
8 \fBshtags\fP creates a \fBvi(1)\fP tags file for shell scripts - which
9 essentially turns your code into a hypertext document. \fBshtags\fP
10 attempts to create tags for all function and variable definitions,
11 although this is a little difficult, because in most shell languages,
12 variables don't need to be explicitly defined, and as such there is
13 often no distinct "variable definition". If this is the case,
14 \fBshtags\fP simply creates a tag for the first instance of a variable
15 which is being set in a simple way, ie: \fIset x = 5\fP.
16 .SH OPTIONS
17 .IP "\fB-t <file>\fP"
18 Name of tags file to create. (default is 'tags')
19 .IP "\fB-s <shell>\fP"
20 The name of the shell used by the script(s). By default,
21 \fBshtags\fP tries to work out which is the appropriate shell for each
22 file individually by looking at the first line of each file. This wont
23 work however, if the script starts as a bourne shell script and tries
24 to be clever about starting the shell it really wants.
