sdesc: "Programming language source index and cross-reference"
ldesc: "Generates an index (tags) file of language objects found in
source files.
The index makes it easy for text editors or other utilities to locate
the indexed items.
Ctags can also generate a cross reference file which lists information
about the various objects found in a set of language files in human
readable form.
Universal Ctags continues the development of Exuberant Ctags, which
improves on Ctags, with support of: Emacs style TAGS files; prints a list
of objects found in source files; finds all types of language tags:
struct, union, enum tags; enumerated values; typedef names; external
function prototypes; function, method, macro definitions; as well as
variable declarations; and fewer issues with preprocessor directives.
Install ctags if you are going to use your system for C programming and
many other languages."
