cxref - generate a C-language program cross-reference table (DEVELOPMENT)
[XSI] cxref [-cs] [-o file] [-w num] [-D name[=def]]... [-I dir]...
[-U name]... file...
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.
The cxref utility shall conform to XBD 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.
The following operand shall be supported:
- file
- A pathname of a C-language source file.
Not used.
The input files are C-language source files.
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 XBD 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 .
Default.
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.
The standard error shall be used only for diagnostic messages.
The output file named by the -o option shall be used instead of standard output.
None.
The following exit values shall be returned:
- 0
- Successful completion.
- >0
- An error occurred.
Default.
None.
None.
None.
None.
First released in Issue 2.
In the SYNOPSIS, [ -U dir] is changed to [ -U name].
The APPLICATION USAGE section is added.
SD5-XCU-ERN-97 is applied, updating the SYNOPSIS.
