  46     (description
  47      "An \"ID database\" is a binary file containing a list of file
  48 names, a list of tokens, and a sparse matrix indicating which
  49 tokens appear in which files.
  50
  51 With this database and some tools to query it, many
  52 text-searching tasks become simpler and faster.  For example,
  53 you can list all files that reference a particular `\\#include'
  54 file throughout a huge source hierarchy, search for all the
  55 memos containing references to a project, or automatically
  56 invoke an editor on all files containing references to some
  57 function or variable.  Anyone with a large software project to
  58 maintain, or a large set of text files to organize, can benefit
  59 from the ID utilities.
  60
  61 Although the name `ID' is short for `identifier', the ID
  62 utilities handle more than just identifiers; they also treat
  63 other kinds of tokens, most notably numeric constants, and the
  64 contents of certain character strings.")
