The main screen CScout presents to your browser is divided into four
sections:
Files: queries that list files and related properties
Identifiers: queries that locate identifiers
Functions: queries that locate functions and macros
Operations: changes to CScout's global context
Most pages CScout sends to your browser are dynamically
generated and may contain elements that can vary from one CScout
invocation to the next.
Therefore you should not bookmark source listings, or file or identifier
detail pages, and expect them to be available on another CScout
invocation.
On the other hand, the pages containing results of identifier, function, or
file queries can be freely bookmarked and are identified with a comment
specifying the fact and a corresponding link.
You can therefore use your browser's bookmark facility to ``store'' such
queries for future use, or pass the URL around so that others can reproduce
your results.
Also note that often a query's results are split into pages.
The program's options allow you to specify how many elements you want to
see on each page.
Keep in mind that some browsers may choke on huge pages, so keep this
number down to a reasonable number (say below 1000).
You can navigate between result pages using the links at the bottom of
each result page page.
The link titled all will present all the query's results.
It is most useful as a way to save all the query's results into a file,
using a browser command like Save Link Target As ...
We will examine CScout's functionality using as an
example the bin workspace we presented in the previous section.
