Hello, If you're using Emacs or vi under Linux, some of you may probably know about tags. etags/ctags are cool tools that allow you to find things very easily in a code database. I refer you to the man page for any of those tools for a more complete description. To use tags with libwww, you just have to go to the directory where you made your configure and type make TAGS This will generate the TAGS cross-reference base and a TAGS file in the top level directory. BTW, this is taken automatically into account by automake... what you'd call a built-in function. Then, from your favorite editor (Emacs in my case), you can invoke them. From Emacs, I just type META-. and then I give a function or constant name. Emacs will then ask me where is the TAGS file and I give then the complete path to the TAGS file. Voila, Emacs can now jump automatically to the function definition. There are many other things you can do in this mode and with etags/ctags. Read the doc :) -Jose
