+      Ctags generates an index (or tag) file of language objects found
+      in source files that allows these items to be quickly and easily
+      located by a text editor or other utility.  A tag signifies a
+      language object for which an index entry is available (or,
+      alternatively, the index entry created for that object).  Many
+      programming languages are supported.
