May we request to have a feature to find list of file #included by a file

May be it is there and I don't know how to do it. Another is if we have something like history in the commands executed in cscope, That will save lot of time

Seems like sort of a non-useful feature, given that determining that information
is:
a) trivial, easily accomplished, by opening the file and searching for
"#include"

b) ambiguous, in that one can make an argument for recursion here. Does such a
search imply we should return entries for files that a .h file includes as well,
as the initial search file will transitively include it.

... and if you insist on using cscope to do it, you can always post-filter the "#included by" output list:

cscope -L8 '.*' | grep foo.c

Another is if we have something like history in the commands executed in cscope, That will save lot of time

Type '?' in cscope to see how.
