semind - Semantic Indexer for C
semind [options]
semind [options] add [command options] [--] [compiler options]
[files...]
semind [options] rm [command options] pattern
semind [options] search [command options] [pattern]
semind [options] search [command options] (-e|-l)
filename:linenr:column
semind is the simple to use cscope-like tool based on
sparse/dissect. Unlike cscope it runs after pre-processor and
thus it can't index the code filtered out by ifdef's, but otoh it
understands how the symbol is used and it can track the usage of
struct members.
add generates or updates semantic index file.
rm removes files from the index by pattern. The pattern is a
glob(7) wildcard pattern.
search queries information about symbol by pattern. The pattern is
a glob(7) wildcard pattern.
-D, --database=FILE
specify database file (default: ./semind.sqlite).
-v, --verbose
show information about what is being done.
-h, --help
show this text and exit.
--include-local-syms
include into the index local symbols.
-f, --format=STRING
specify an output format. Default: '(%m)
%f\t%l\t%c\t%C\t%s' (see FORMAT below).
-p, --path=PATTERN
search symbols only in specified directories.
-m, --mode=MODE
search only the specified type of access (see MODE below).
-k, --kind=KIND
specify a kind of symbol (see KIND below).
-e, --explain
Show what happens in the specified file position;
-l, --location
Show usage of symbols from a specific file position;
-v, --verbose
show information about what is being done;
-h, --help
show this text and exit.
%m access mode in human readable form (see MODE below).
%f file name.
%l line number.
%c column number.
%C the name of the function in which the symbol occurs.
%n symbol name.
%s source code line. Indexer does not save source code lines.
They are read from the file during the search.
f function
s strict
m struct member
The MODE is dumped as a 3-letter string. The first letter denotes
address of part, 2-nd - access by value, 3-rd - access by pointer.
A special value 'def' means a symbol definition.
r read
w write
m read and write
