Variable: etags-regen-tags-file

etags-regen-tags-file is a customizable variable defined in etags-regen.el.gz.

Value

"TAGS"

Documentation

Name of the tags file to create inside the project by etags-regen-mode(var)/etags-regen-mode(fun).

The value should either be a simple file name (no directory specified), or a function that accepts the project root directory and returns a distinct absolute file name for its tags file. The latter possibility is useful when you prefer to store the tag files somewhere else, for example in temporary-file-directory(var)/temporary-file-directory(fun).

This variable was added, or its default value changed, in Emacs 30.1.
