21.11.7 Tags Table Inquiries
----------------------------

`M-x list-tags'
     Display a list of the tags defined in a specific program file.

`M-x tags-apropos'
     Display a list of all tags matching a specified regexp.

   `M-x list-tags' reads the name of one of the files described by the
selected tags table, and displays a list of all the tags defined in that
file.  The "file name" argument is really just a string to compare
against the names recorded in the tags table; it is read as a string
rather than a file name.  Therefore, completion and defaulting are not
available, and you must enter the string the same way it appears in the
tag table.  Do not include a directory as part of the file name unless
the file name recorded in the tags table contains that directory.

   `M-x tags-apropos' is like `apropos' for tags.  It reads a regexp,
then finds all the tags in the selected tags table whose entries match
that regexp, and displays the tag names found.
