Cscope is a program that generates index tables from C and C++ source files. It is also a client program that knows how to use the generated index tables to answer questions such as where is a symbol defined, where is a symbol referenced, etc.
* Allows searching code for:
* all references to a symbol
* global definitions
* functions called by a function
* functions calling a function
* text string
* regular expression pattern
* a file
* files including a file
* Curses based (text screen)
* An information database is generated for faster searches and later reference
* The fuzzy parser supports C, but is flexible enough to be useful for C++ and Java, and for use as a generalized 'grep database' (use it to browse large text documents!)
* Has a command line mode for inclusion in scripts or as a backend to a GUI/frontend
* Runs on all flavors of Unix, plus most monopoly-controlled operating systems.
