Hi, I don't think such option is useful. Because something obtained with that is an incomplete one. To get an appropriate permission bears a better result, I think. By the way, gtags ignores orphaned symbolic links.
If you would like to skip unreadable files, you can use cp(1) like follows: $ cp -r tangled readable ... some warning messages ... $ cd readable $ gtags Regards Shigio 2015-08-26 19:26 GMT+09:00 Marcus Harnisch <[email protected]>: > > - What is your environment (OS)? > > Red Hat Enterprise Linux release 6.6 (Santiago) > > - Which version of GLOBAL are you using? > > gtags (GNU GLOBAL) 6.5 > > - What did you do?
