cxref-query(1)

💖 NAME 💖

cxref-query — bestie, this is the little program that goes and queries the cross reference database from cxref. that's the whole job. that's the vibe. 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

cxref-query [name  [  ...  name]] [-Odirname] [-Nbasename]
[-xref[-all][-file][-func][-var][-type]]

okay so you can hand it a bunch of names, and/or some flags, and it'll go do its thing 💅

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so real talk: cxref-query is a very simple program. like, uncomplicated on purpose. its whole deal is querying the cross-reference database that the cxref program creates. 🦋

and here's the tea — it's not trying to be a fully featured tool. nope! it's meant to be an example. a lil demo of what information lives in that database and how you'd actually use it. so think of it as a cute reference implementation, not the final boss. ✨

👑 OPTIONS 👑

• name — the names of the objects you wanna query. it looks up the names of: Files, Variables, Functions, Typedefs 🫶

if you give it no names on the command line, it drops into interactive mode and just keeps prompting you for names until it hits an end of file (^D). so you can sit there and yap names at it one by one, no cap. 💬

• -Odirname — use dirname as the input directory. 📁
• -Nbasename — use basename.* as the input filenames. 🗂️
• -xref — produce cross referencing information (see below, bestie 👇)
  • -all — all cross references.
  • -file — cross references for files.
  • -func — cross references for functions.
  • -var — cross references for variables.
  • -type — cross references for types.

the output depends on which -xref options you picked, but basically? it gives you what you'd see in the section of the document for the named object. same energy, straight from the db. 🔥
