Yes, that's it, sorry for confusion.

Unfortunatelly I just checked and even C files aren't enabled by default:

    # No output at all
    find . -iname *.c | ctags -L - -f -
=20=20=20=20
    # Normal/expected output
    find . -iname *.c | ctags -L - -f - --languages=3Dall

Ideally flag could be propagated, but IMHO hardcoding it to a command
isn't bad workaround.

Best,
