Iterate through functions calls in various files

Question

I can jump to a function definition thanks to :tjump.

Or I can search for a function call in a file with / but is there a way to iterate through function calls across various files ?

If the solution is language specific, I am interested in how to do it for C.

@D.BenKnoble I replaced references by calls. Is there anything else that's unclear ? Seems like your comment could make an answer. Do you want to make it an answer or should I do it ? — cassepipe, Apr 20, 2021 at 18:42
I’m happy to let your answer stand :) “iterate” was really the word I was struggling with, but at this point I’ll delete my comments. You might be especially interested in :help :cdo and :help Cfilter — D. Ben Knoble, Apr 20, 2021 at 22:07

It seems that :grep some_word is what I was looking for. It populates a quickfix list that you can navigate with :cnext and :cprev.

A good idea is to map those to ]q and [q respectively.

:cfirst and :clast might be worth mentionning too.
