Understanding Browsing

You browse source code written in C, C++, FORTRAN 77, and Fortran 90 by issuing queries that instruct Sun WorkShop to find all occurrences of the symbol, string constant, or search pattern that you have specified. You then view the occurrences or matches of the item you requested, with their surrounding source code.

You can also graph the function and subroutine relationships in your program. If your source code is written in C++, then you can browse and graph the classes defined in your program.

Browsing responds to queries by searching in a database that contains information about the files you are browsing. You create this database when you compile your source file with the Browsing option.
