@unnumberedsubsec SYNOPSIS

htags [-acDfFghInosTvwx][-d dbpath][-m name][-t title][dir]@*
@end quotation
@unnumberedsubsec DESCRIPTION
Htags generates a hypertext from a set of source files of
C, C++, Yacc, Java, PHP and Assembly.

In advance of using this command, you should execute gtags(1)
in the root directory of a source project.
Then you can execute htags in the same place.
Htags makes a directory named @file{HTML}, and puts a hypertext in it.
You can start browsing at @file{HTML/index.html}.

Since htags generates a static hypertext as long as the @samp{-D} or @samp{-f}
option is not specified, you can move it anywhere and browse it by any browser without
any HTTP server.

This command has so many options.
If you are new to htags, it is recommended to use the @samp{--suggest} option.
With that option, htags chooses popular options on your behalf.
@unnumberedsubsec OPTIONS
The following options are available:

@table @asis
@item @samp{-a}, @samp{--alphabet}
Make an alphabetical index suitable for a large project.
@item @samp{--auto-completion}[=limit]
Enable auto-completion facility for the input form.
If limit is specified, number of candidates is limited to the value.
Please note this function requires javascript language in your browser.
@item @samp{--caution}
Display a caution message on the top page.
@item @samp{--cflow} cflowfile
Add a call tree by cflow(1). cflowfile must be posix format.
If you use GNU cflow, invoke the command at the project root
directory with the @samp{--format=posix} option.
This option is deprecated; please use @samp{--call-tree} or
@samp{--callee-tree} instead.
@item @samp{--call-tree} callfile
Add a call tree by cflow(1); callfile must be posix format.
If you use GNU cflow, invoke the command at the project root
directory with the @samp{--format=posix} option.
@item @samp{--callee-tree} calleefile
Add a callee tree by cflow(1); calleefile must be posix format.
If you use GNU cflow, invoke the command at the project root
directory with the @samp{--format=posix} and @samp{--reverse} options.
@item @samp{--colorize-warned-line}
Use color to highlight warned lines.
@item @samp{--cvsweb} url
Add a link to cvsweb; url is used as the base of URL.
When directory @file{CVS} exists in the root directory of the project,
the content of @file{CVS/Repository} is used as the relative path from the base.
@item @samp{--cvsweb-cvsroot} cvsroot
Specify cvsroot in cvsweb URL.
@item @samp{-D}, @samp{--dynamic}
Generate a tag list dynamically using CGI program.
Though this option decreases both the size and generation time of
hypertext, you need to start up HTTP server.
@item @samp{-d}, @samp{--dbpath} dbpath
Specify the directory in which @file{GTAGS} exists.
The default is the current directory.
@item @samp{--disable-grep}
Disable grep in the search form (@samp{-f}, @samp{--form}).

Disable idutils in the search form (@samp{-f}, @samp{--form}).
@item @samp{-F}, @samp{--frame}
Use frames for the top page.
@item @samp{-f}, @samp{--form}
Add a search form using CGI program.
You need to start a HTTP server for it.
@item @samp{--fixed-guide}
Put a fixed guide at the bottom of the screen of the browser.
@item @samp{--full-path}
Use full path name in the file index.
By default, use just the last component of a path.
@item @samp{-g}, @samp{--gtags}
Execute gtags(1) before starting job.
The @samp{-v}, @samp{-w} and dbpath options are
passed to gtags.
@item @samp{--gtagsconf} file
Set environment variable @var{GTAGSCONF} to file.
@item @samp{--gtagslabel} label
Set environment variable @var{GTAGSLABEL} to label.
@item @samp{-h}, @samp{--func-header}[=position]
Insert a function header for each function.
By default, htags doesn't generate them.
You can choose the position using position,
which allows one of @samp{before}, @samp{right} or @samp{after} (default).
@item @samp{--html-header} file
Insert a header record derived from file into the HTML header of each file.
@item @samp{-I}, @samp{--icon}
Use icons instead of text for some links.
@item @samp{--insert-footer} file
Insert custom footer derived from file before @code{</body>} tag.
@item @samp{--insert-header} file
Insert custom header derived from file after @code{<body>} tag.
@item @samp{--item-order} spec
Specify the order of the items in the top page.
The spec is a string consisting of item signs in order.
Each sign means as follows:
@samp{c}: caution; @samp{s}: search form;
@samp{m}: mains; @samp{d}: definitions; @samp{f}: files; @samp{t}: call tree.
The default is @samp{csmdf}.

Specify startup function name; the default is @samp{main}.
@item @samp{--map-file}

@item @samp{--no-order-list}
Numbers are not given in list form.
@item @samp{-o}, @samp{--other}
Pick up not only source files but also other files for the file index.
@item @samp{-s}, @samp{--symbol}
Make anchors not only for definitions and references
but also other symbols.
@item @samp{--show-position}
Print the position string per function definition. The string can be interpreted
by general editors in UNIX. The default is false.
@item @samp{--statistics}
Print statistics information.
@item @samp{--suggest}
Htags chooses popular options on behalf of beginners.
It is equivalent to
@samp{-aghInosTxv --show-position --fixed-guide}
now.
@item @samp{--suggest2}
Htags chooses popular options on behalf of beginners.
This option enables frame, AJAX and CGI facility in addition
to the facilities by the @samp{--suggest} option.

@samp{--suggest  -DfF --auto-completion --tree-view=filetree}
now.

@unnumberedsubsec DIAGNOSTICS

@unnumberedsubsec BUG
Generated hypertext is VERY LARGE.
In advance, check the space of your disk.

PHP support is far from complete.

The @samp{-f} and @samp{-D} options generate CGI programs.
If you open the hypertext to the public, please recognize security dangers.
