NAME
       cscope-indexer - Script to index files for cscope

SYNOPSIS
       cscope-indexer [-v] [-f database_file] [-i list_file] [-l] [-r]

DESCRIPTION
       This  script  generates a list of files to index (cscope.out), which is
       then (optionally) used to generate a cscope database.  You can use this
       script to just build a list of files, or it can be used to build a list
       and database.  This script is not used to just build a database	(skip‐
       ping  the list of files step), as this can be simply done by just call‐
       ing "cscope -b".

       Normally, cscope will do its own indexing, but this script can be  used
       to  force  indexing.  This is useful if you need to recurse into subdi‐
       rectories, or have many files to index (you can run this script from  a
       cron  job,  during  the	night).	  It  is  especially  useful for large
       projects, which can contstantly have source files added and deleted; by
       using  this  script,  the changing sources files are automatically han‐
       dled.

       Currently, any paths containing "/CVS/" or  "/RCS/"  are	 stripped  out
       (ignored).

OPTIONS
       -f database_file
	      Specifies the cscope database file (default: cscope.out).

       -i list_file
	      Specifies	 the  name of the file into which the list of files to
	      index is placed (default: cscope.files).

       -l     Suppress the generation/updating of the  cscope  database	 file.
	      Only a list of files is generated.

       -r     Recurse  into  subdirectories to locate files to index.  Without
	      this option, only the current directory is searched.

       -v     Be verbose.  Output simple progress messages.
