semantic: Tag handling
3.2 Tag handling
================
A tag represents an individual item found in a buffer, such as a
function or variable. Tag handling is handled in several source files.
‘semantic-tag.el’
Basic tag creation, queries, cloning, binding, and unbinding.
‘semantic-tag-write.el’
Write a tag or tag list to a stream. These routines are used by
‘semanticdb-file.el’ when saving a list of tags.
‘semantic-tag-file.el’
Files associated with tags. Goto-tag, file for include, and file
for a prototype.
‘semantic-tag-ls.el’
Language dependent features of a tag, such as parent calculation,
slot protection, and other states like abstract, virtual, static,
and leaf.
‘semantic-dep.el’
Include file handling. Contains the include path concepts, and
routines for looking up file names in the include path.
‘semantic-format.el’
Convert a tag into a nicely formatted and colored string. Use
‘semantic-test-all-format-tag-functions’ to test different output
options.
‘semantic-find.el’
Find tags matching different conditions in a tag table. These
routines are used by ‘semanticdb-find.el’ once the database has
been converted into a simpler tag table.
‘semantic-sort.el’
Sorting lists of tags in different ways. Includes sorting a plain
list of tags forward or backward. Includes binning tags based on
attributes (bucketize), and tag adoption for multiple references to
the same thing.
‘semantic-doc.el’
Capture documentation comments from near a tag.
