Import of nvi-1.79, minus a few bits that we dont need (eg: postscript
files, curses, db, regex etc that we already have). The other glue will
follow shortly.

This supports cscope, which returns multiple locations +per query. It will hopefully support ctags programs that create databases +with multiple locations per tag as well. + +There is now a list of "tag queues" chained from each screen.

+ +To start nvi with an initial set of cscope directories, use the environment +variable CSCOPE_DIRS. This variable should contain a <blank>-separated +list of directories containing cscope databases. (This MAY be changed to +be an edit option, I haven't really decided, yet.) + +Each cscope directory must contain a file named "cscope.out" which is the +main cscope database, or nvi will not attempt to connect to a cscope to +handle requests for that database. + +The file "cscope.tpath" may contain a colon-separated directory search +path which will be used to find the files reported by cscope. If this +cscope.tpath does not exist, then the paths are assumed to be relative to +the cscope directory itself. This is an extension to the standard cscope, +but seems important enough to keep. + +=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= +Cscope Availability: + +UNIXWare System V Release 4.0 variants such as Sun Solaris 2.x +(/opt/SUNWspro/bin) have version 11.5, and UNIXWare System V +Release 4.1 has version 12.10 with an option for much faster +searching. + +You can buy version 13.3 source with an unrestricted license +for $400 from AT&T Software Solutions by calling +1-800-462-8146. |
