+global (source code tagging system)
+
+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 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.
