Tags Table Inquiries
- M-x list-tags <RET> file <RET>
- Display a list of the tags defined in the program file file.
- M-x tags-apropos <RET> regexp <RET>
- Display a list of all tags matching regexp.
M-x list-tags reads the name of one of the files described by
the selected tags table, and displays a list of all the tags defined in
that file. The "file name" argument is really just a string to
compare against the file names recorded in the tags table; it is read as
a string rather than as a file name. Therefore, completion and
defaulting are not available, and you must enter the file name the same
way it appears in the tags table. Do not include a directory as part of
the file name unless the file name recorded in the tags table includes a
directory.
M-x tags-apropos is like apropos for tags
(see Apropos). It finds all the tags in the selected tags table
whose entries match regexp, and displays them. If the variable
tags-apropos-verbose is non-nil, it displays the names
of the tags files together with the tag names.
You can customize the appearance of the output with the face
tags-tag-face. You can display additional output with M-x
tags-apropos by customizing the variable
tags-apropos-additional-actions--see its documentation for
details.
You can also use the collection of tag names to complete a symbol
name in the buffer. See Symbol Completion.
