30.29 Setting Multiple tags Files

You might have a tags file in your current directory. You might also have another system-wide or group-wide tags file. How can you make vi search both of them?

In your .exrc file (30.6) or at the colon (:) prompt, type a backslash (\) between the tag filenames:

set tags=tags\ /usr/local/lib/tags
