Hello Ajay, there is nothing wrong with looking at the manual. In fact I would encourage you to. It is not daunting at all: the manual has a quick start section, and can be browsed online. http://www.gnu.org/software/idutils/manual/idutils.html#Quick-start The info pages are available in addition to the online manual, and there's the output of (program) --help that can be useful as well. I use idutils in my daily programming work, and works well for me. What I do is I go to the top source directory of the project, then run $ mkid (see especially the --include option in the documentation) This generates the database of symbols that is written to the ID file. Then I mostly use gid to lookup the symbols whenever I need to. $ info mkid $ info gid $ info lid Claudio _______________________________________________ bug-idutils mailing list bug-idutils@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-idutils
