or the interface may not be implemented on Linux.
NAME
cxref
--- generate a C-language program cross-reference table
(
DEVELOPMENT)
SYNOPSIS
cxref [-cs] [-o file] [-w num] [-D name[=def]]... [-I dir]...
[-U name]... file...
DESCRIPTION
The
cxref
utility shall analyze a collection of C-language
files
and attempt to build a cross-reference table. Information from
#define
lines shall be included in the symbol table. A sorted listing shall be
written to standard output of all symbols (auto, static, and global) in
each
file
separately, or with the
-c
option, in combination. Each symbol shall contain an
<asterisk>
before the declaring reference.
OPTIONS
The
cxref
utility shall conform to the Base Definitions volume of POSIX.1-2017,
Section 12.2,
Utility Syntax Guidelines,
except that the order of the
-D,
-I,
and
-U
options (which are identical to their interpretation by
c99)
is significant. The following options shall be supported:
- -c
-
Write a combined cross-reference of all input files.
- -s
-
Operate silently; do not print input filenames.
- -o file
-
Direct output to named
file.
- -w num
-
Format output no wider than
num
(decimal) columns. This option defaults to 80 if
num
is not specified or is less than 51.
- -D
-
Equivalent to
c99.
- -I
-
Equivalent to
c99.
- -U
-
Equivalent to
c99.
OPERANDS
The following operand shall be supported:
- file
-
A pathname of a C-language source file.
STDIN
Not used.
INPUT FILES
The input files are C-language source files.
ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
The following environment variables shall affect the execution of
cxref:
- LANG
-
Provide a default value for the internationalization variables that are
unset or null. (See the Base Definitions volume of POSIX.1-2017,
Section 8.2, Internationalization Variables
for the precedence of internationalization variables used to determine
the values of locale categories.)
- LC_ALL
-
If set to a non-empty string value, override the values of all the
other internationalization variables.
- LC_COLLATE
-
Determine the locale for the ordering of the output.
- LC_CTYPE
-
Determine the locale for the interpretation of sequences of bytes of
text data as characters (for example, single-byte as opposed to
multi-byte characters in arguments and input files).
- LC_MESSAGES
-
Determine the locale that should be used to affect the format and
contents of diagnostic messages written to standard error.
- NLSPATH
-
Determine the location of message catalogs for the processing of
LC_MESSAGES.
ASYNCHRONOUS EVENTS
Default.
STDOUT
The standard output shall be used for the cross-reference listing,
unless the
-o
option is used to select a different output file.
The format of standard output is unspecified, except that the following
information shall be included:
- *
-
If the
-c
option is not specified, each portion of the listing shall start
with the name of the input file on a separate line.
- *
-
The name line shall be followed by a sorted list of symbols, each with
its associated location pathname, the name of the function in which it
appears (if it is not a function name itself), and line number
references.
- *
-
Each line number may be preceded by an
<asterisk>
('*')
flag, meaning that this is the declaring reference. Other
single-character flags, with implementation-defined meanings, may be
included.
STDERR
The standard error shall be used only for diagnostic messages.
OUTPUT FILES
The output file named by the
-o
option shall be used instead of standard output.
EXTENDED DESCRIPTION
None.
EXIT STATUS
The following exit values shall be returned:
- 0
-
Successful completion.
- >0
-
An error occurred.
CONSEQUENCES OF ERRORS
Default.
The following sections are informative.
APPLICATION USAGE
None.
EXAMPLES
None.
RATIONALE
None.
FUTURE DIRECTIONS
None.
