+## Passing custom command line arguments to Exuberant Ctags
+
+You may want to run Exuberant Ctags with specific command line options, for example the [code_complete] [code_complete] plug-in requires the signature field to be present. To do this you can create a configuration file for Exuberant Ctags, e.g. `~/.ctags` on UNIX or `%USERPROFILE%\ctags.cnf` on Windows. The file should contain one command line option per line. See the [Exuberant Ctags manual] [ctags_cfg] for details.
