## 2 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.
