(synopsis "Cross-environment source code tag system")
(description
- "GNU GLOBAL is a source code tagging system that works the same way
-across diverse environments (Emacs, vi, less, Bash, web browser, etc).
-You can locate specified objects in source files and move there easily.
-It is useful for hacking a large project containing many
-subdirectories, many #ifdef and many main() functions. It is similar
-to ctags or etags but is different from them at the point of
-independence of any editor. It runs on a UNIX (POSIX) compatible
-operating system like GNU and BSD.")
+ "GLOBAL is a source code tagging system that functions in the same way
+across a wide array of environments, such as different text editors, shells
+and web browsers. The resulting tags are useful for quickly moving around in
+a large, deeply nested project.")
