NAME
atags - build Emacs TAGS file for Algae source files

SYNOPSIS
atags filename ...

DESCRIPTION
atags makes a TAGS file for Emacs from the specified Algae source files. This TAGS file gives the locations of function definitions in a group of files, and allows Emacs to jump to a given function definition, search and replace through all of the files, etc.

If the positions recorded in the TAGS file become a little bit wrong (due to some editing in the file that the tag definition is in), the only consequence is a slight delay in finding the tag. A TAGS table is updated in the same way it was made in the first place. It is not necessary to do this very often.

DEFICIENCIES / BUGS

atags doesn't know much about Algae syntax, and is easily fooled.

The TAGS file written by atags takes advantage of the fact that Emacs now ignores the offset values that are supposed to follow each file name.
