GOZILLA(1) General Commands Manual GOZILLA(1)

gozilla - force firefox to display specified part of a source file

gozilla [-b browser][-p][+no] file
gozilla [-b browser][-p] -d name

Gozilla forces firefox to display specified part of a source file. Gozilla can be used with other browsers like chrome.

In advance of using this command, you must execute gtags(1) and htags(1) at the root directory of the project to make tag files. Then you can execute this command anywhere in the project.

First form:
You can specify a source file and optional line number. This syntax is similar to vi(1) and emacs(1).

Second form:
You can specify a definition name directly. The definition name should exist in ´GTAGS´. This option requires ´HTML/MAP´ generated by htags(1).

Some browsers require you to load it before executing gozilla.

The following options are available:

+no
Line number.
Browser to use. By default, it is assumed firefox.
Print definitions.
Show help.
Just print a generated URL instead of displaying it.
File name or alias name.
Quiet mode.
Verbose mode.
Show version number.

´GTAGS´
Tag file for definitions.
´HTML/´
Hypertext of source code.
´HTML/MAP´
Mapping file for converting tag name into the path of tag list.
´gtags.conf´, ´$HOME/.globalrc´
Configuration data for GNU Global. See gtags.conf(5).

Browser to use. By default, it is assumed firefox. If you want to load the default browser in OSX, you may set this variable to osx-default.
The directory in which the tag files exist. This value is ignored when GTAGSROOT is not defined.
