Package description for 'cscope'

text screen based source browser

 Cscope is a developer's tool for browsing source code. It has an impeccable
 Unix pedigree, having been originally developed at Bell Labs back in the
 days of the PDP-11. Cscope was part of the official AT&T Unix distribution
 for many years, and has been used to manage projects involving 20 million
 lines of code!

 In April, 2000, thanks to the Santa Cruz Operation, Inc. (SCO) (since
 merged with Caldera), the code for Cscope was open sourced under the BSD
 license. 

 - Allows searching code for:
  - all references to a symbol
  - global definitions
  - functions called by a function
  - functions calling a function
  - text string
  - regular expression pattern
  - a file
  - files including a file

 - Curses based (text screen)
 - An information database is generated for faster searches and later
   reference
 - The fuzzy parser supports C, but is flexible enough to be useful for
   C++ and Java, and for use as a generalized 'grep database'
   (use it to browse large text documents!)
 - Has a command line mode for inclusion in scripts or as a backend to a
   GUI/frontend
 - Runs on all flavors of Unix, plus most monopoly-controlled operating
   systems.
