exuberant-ctags

When I type ctags -e it returns an error saying it doesn't know that command line option. I thought it should know about exuberant tags because etags works on cli.

Also, I recieve the following error: ctags: unrecognized option --langdef=arc and I have the following in my ~/.ctags file:

--langdef=arc
--langmap=arc:.arc
--regex-arc=/^\(def ([a-zA-Z1-9_*\/<>-]+)/\1/
--regex-arc=/^\(= ([a-zA-Z1-9_*\/<>-]+)/\1/
--regex-scheme=/^\(xdef ([a-zA-Z1-9_*\/<>-]+)/\1/
