Description

Vtags stands for Very fast tags. Vtags is a replacement for etags.el. It supports Vi-style tags files, traditional emacs TAGS files, and, to a lesser extent, GTAGS files.

If you are unfamiliar with tags then you should browse the documentation for etags, ctags, and gtags.

The documentation for this project is mostly contained within the source file itself where you will find a description of the functionality, design notes, and the TODO list.
