Informacion ajena al problema, pero adicional sobre el package
Parameter -x print a tabular, human-readable cross reference
(xref) file to standard output instead of generating a tag file. The information
contained in the output includes: the tag name; the kind of tag; the line number,
file name, and source line (with extra white space condensed) of the file which
defines the tag. No tag file is written and all options affecting tag file output
will be ignored.
Example applications for this feature are generating a listing of all functions
located in a source file (e.g. "ctags -x --kinds-c=f file"
