gozilla - force firefox to display specified part of a source file
Contents
Description
Gozilla forces firefox to display specified part of a source file. Gozilla can be used with other
browsers like chrome.
In advance of using this command, you must execute gtags(1) and htags(1) at the root directory of the
project to make tag files. Then you can execute this command anywhere in the project.
First form:
You can specify a source file and optional line number. This syntax is similar to vi(1) and emacs(1).
Second form:
You can specify a definition name directly. The definition name should exist in ´GTAGS´. This option
requires ´HTML/MAP´ generated by htags(1).
Some browsers require you to load it before executing gozilla.
Diagnostics
Gozilla exits with a non-0 value if an error occurred, 0 otherwise.
Environment
BROWSER
Browser to use. By default, it is assumed firefox. If you want to load the default browser in

GTAGSDBPATH
The directory in which the tag files exist. This value is ignored when GTAGSROOT is not defined.
GTAGSROOT
The root directory of the project.
