# gozilla(1x)

force mozilla to display specified source file

## NAME

**gozilla** – force mozilla to display specified source file

## SYNOPSIS

**gozilla** \[**+***no*\] \[**-b** *browser*\] \[**-p**\] *file*

**gozilla** **-C** *command*

## DESCRIPTION

First form:\
 **Gozilla** force mozilla (Netscape Navigator) to display specified source file as a hypertext. If mozilla has not loaded then **gozilla** loads it.

In advance of using this command, you must execute [gtags(1)](/gtags/1.md) and [htags(1)](/htags/1.md) at the root directory of the source tree to make tag files. Then you can execute **gozilla** at anywhere in the source tree.\
 You can specify source file and the line number optionally.

Second form:\
 **Gozilla** send *command* to mozilla directly. *Command* is undocumented. But the hint is in the resource file of mozilla.

The following options are available:

- ***+**no*

  line number. It must be a line on which function definition or function reference is exist. If you execute [htags(1)](/htags/1.md) with -l option, you can specify any line.

- **-b** *browser*

  browser to use. By default, assumes mozilla. If you specify another browser, **gozilla** waits for exiting of the browser.

- **-p**

  just print generated target URL.

- *file*

  path of source file.

- **-C** *command*

  send *command* to mozilla directly.

## FILES

- *HTML/*

  hypertext of source tree.

- *GTAGS*

  tags file for function definitions.

## ENVIRONMENT

The following environment variables affect the execution of gozilla.

- GTAGSROOT

  The directory which is the root of source tree.

- GTAGSDBPATH

  The directory on which HTML directory exist. This value is ignored when GTAGSROOT is not defined.

- BROWSER

  browser to use. By default, assumes mozilla.

## EXAMPLES

  % global -x main\
   main              82 ctags.c          main(argc, argv)\
   % gozilla +82 ctags.c\
   % gozilla -C pageDown\
   % gozilla -C back

## DIAGNOSTICS

**Gozilla** exits with a non 0 value if an error occurred, 0 otherwise.

Netscape Navigator is a registered trademark of Netscape Communications Corporation in the United States and other countries.

**Gozilla** means 'Global for mozilla'.

## BUGS

**Gozilla** can treat not only source file but also normal file, directory, HTML file and even URL, because it is omnivorous.
