# The devel/id-utils port

## id-utils-3.2dp1 – gid/lid tools for looking up variables in code

## Description

    `mkid' is a simple, fast, high-capacity, language-independent
    identifier database tool.  Actually, the term `identifier' is too
    limiting--`mkid' stores tokens, be they program identifiers of any
    form, literal numbers, or words of human-readable text.  Database
    queries can be issued from the command-line, or from within emacs,
    serving as an augmented tags facility.

    `mkid' was originally written by Greg McGary <gkm@gnu.ai.mit.edu>
    and posted to comp.sources.unix in September 1987.  It was then
    maintained and enhanced by a loose knit group of programmers on the
    Internet led by Tom Horsley <Tom.Horsley@mail.hcsc.com>.  Tom released
    `mkid2' on comp.sources.unix in March, 1991.  Since then, Greg McGary
    has resumed maintenance and is releasing an improved version 3 under GPL.

    Version 3 is an interim release.  Version 4 will follow in the coming
    months and include a cscope clone plus other improvements.
