Linux Hypertext Cross Code Retrieval Tool

Linux Hypertext Cross Code Retrieval Tool LXR (Linux Cross Reference), written by Arne Georg Gleditsch and Per Kristian Gjermshus, Department of Mathematics, University of Oslo, Norway. This tool actually runs on Linux or UNIX platforms. By indexing all the symbols in the source code, you can easily retrieve any symbol, including functions, external variables, file names, macro definitions, and so on. Not only for Linux source code, but for other large projects in C, you can build its lxr site to provide developer query code and follow-up developer learning code.

The current lxr is designed for the Apache server under Linux. By running the perl script, the source code index file created at the time of installation is retrieved and sent to the web browser of the web client. Any web browser on any platform can be accessed, which is convenient for users who are used to working under the Windows
platform.

The English website for lxr is http://lxr.linux.no/, which has its image on the Chinese Linux Forum http://www.linuxforum.net.

If you want to build your own LXR website, you can download the lxr tarball installation package directly from http://lxr.linux.no/lxr-0.3.tar.gz. In addition, because lxr uses glimpse as a search tool for text in the entire project, you also need to download glimpse at http://glimpse.cs.arizona.edu and download glimpse-4.12.6.bin.Linux-2.2.5- 22-i686.tar.gz, you can also use the updated version. After downloading, follow the instructions to install and configure, you can build your own LXR website. If you are comfortable with the Internet, you can directly query the various source information you need from http://lxr.linux.no/.
