Tanks for the hint, but grep (or Find in Files from IDE) has the big disadvantage that you don't find only the declaration, but also all
the references. You search "FindFirst" and you find 200 entries...

Lazarus / View / Code Browser / Levels / Show identifiers: execvp
Disable 'show packages' and 'show units'
It will show:

Procedure Execvp(ProgName:String;Args:TStrings)
function execvp(__file:Pchar;__argv:PPchar):longint

Move the mouse over the entries to see a hint about its location and/or
double click to jump to the source.


Thanks a lot for the hint.
Shakespeare would have said:
"There are more things in Lazarus IDE, Horatio,
Than are dreamt of in your philosophy." :-)
Moreover if you search e.g. execvp, you'll never find TProcess, which
is the recommended way to start an external application.
That's why some help from developers, or experienced users, would be more than welcome.

Maybe you can start a wiki page.


I'll do it, but I can only put there my limited knowledge. I hope that someone else will fill up the holes.

Thanks,

Giuliano
