GNU Idutils

A package of language independent tools that indexes program identifiers, literal numbers, or words of human-readable text. Through an "ID database," a binary file containing a list of filenames, a list of tokens, and a simple matrix indicating which tokens appear in which files, text-searching tasks become simpler and faster.

The ID utilities handle more than just identifiers; they also treat other kinds of tokens, including numeric constants, and the contents of certain character strings. Database queries can be issued from the command-line, or from within emacs, serving as an augmented tags facility.

Programs included are: 

mkid: (id-utils)mkid invocation.        Creating an ID database.
* lid: (id-utils)lid invocation.        Matching words and patterns.
* fid: (id-utils)fid invocation.        Listing a file's tokens.
* fnid: (id-utils)fnid invocation.      Looking up file names.
* xtokid: (id-utils)xtokid invocation.  Testing mkid scanners.
