Processing Source Files
***********************

   Before you can start browsing a class hierarchy, you must run the
parser `ebrowse' on your source files in order to generate a Lisp data
base describing your program.

   The operation of `ebrowse' can be tailored with command line
options.  Under normal circumstances it suffices to let the parser use
its default settings.  If you want to do that, call it with a command
line like:

     ebrowse *.h *.cc

or, if your shell doesn't allow all the file names to be specified on
the command line,

     ebrowse --files=FILE

where FILE contains the names of the files to be parsed, one per line.

   When invoked with option `--help', `ebrowse' prints a list of
available command line options.
