[Cscope-devel] cscope interface questions..

[Edward P. <ho...@gm...>]

hey all,

I was looking for a couple of things wrt cscope:

1. Is there a grep interface for cscope? I'd like the same interface as grep,
   ie: cscope -l <pattern> gives a list of files matching a certain pattern,
   cscope -C 3 gives 3 lines of context, etc.

2. How big a database does it generate (correlated to size of input)?

3. Is there an 'update' mode? ie: if I give it a list of files to
index, and then have it
    index a second time, can you configure it only to take the deltas
for the new
    and changed files?

4. How well does it do on large, arbitrary text (as opposed to code) Can you
    configure it for to handle both?

Thanks much for any info, I'd love to use it, but doing so would be
dependent on whether or not the above features are supported...

Thanks much,

Ed
