SYNOPSIS
hfst-grep [OPTIONS...] PATTERN [FILE...]DESCRIPTION
Search for PATTERN in each FILE or standard input. Pattern is, by default, a Xerox regular expression (XRE). Example: hfst-grep 'h e l l o % w o r l d' menu.h menu.cCommon options:
- -h, --help
- Print help message
- -V, --version
- Print version info
- -v, --verbose
- Print verbosely while processing
- -q, --quiet
- Only print fatal erros and requested output
- -s, --silent
- Alias of --quiet
- -9, --format=TYPE
- compile expressions to TYPE automata
Regexp selection and interpretation:
- -E, --extended-regexp
- PATTERN is an extended regular expression (ERE)
- -F, --fixed-strings
- PATTERN is a set of newline-separated fixed strings
- -G, --basic-regexp
- PATTERN is a basic regular expression (BRE)
- -P, --perl-regexp
- PATTERN is a Perl regular expression
- -X, --xerox-regexp
- PATTERN is a Xerox regulare expression
- -e, --regexp=PATTERN
- use PATTERN for matching
- -f, --file=FILE
- obtain PATTERN from FILE
- -I, --ignore-case
- ignore case distinctions
- -w, --word-regexp
- force PATTERN to match only whole words
- -x, --line-regexp
- force PATTERN to match only whole lines
- -z, --null-data
- a data line ends in 0 byte, not newline
Miscellaneous options:
- --no-messages
- suppress error messages
- --invert-match
- select non-matching lines
Output control:
- -m, --max-count=NUM
- stop after NUM matches\n -b, --byte-offset print the byte offset with output lines
- -n, --line-number
- print line number with output lines
- --line-buffered
- flush output on every line
- -H, --with-filename
- print the filename for each match
- -h, --no-filename
- suppress the prefixing filename on output
- --label=LABEL
- print LABEL as filename for standard input
- -o, --only-matching
- show only the part of a line matching PATTERN
- --binary-files=TYPE
- assume that binary files are TYPE; TYPE is `binary', `text', or `without-match'
- -a, --text
- equivalent to --binary-files=text
- -d, --directories=ACTION
- how to handle directories; ACTION is `read', `recurse', or `skip'
- -D, --devices=ACTION
- how to handle devices, FIFOs and sockets; ACTION is `read' or `skip'
- -R, -r, --recursive
- equivalent to --directories=recurse
- --include=FILE_PATTERN
- search only files that match FILE_PATTERN
- --exclude=FILE_PATTERN
- skip files and directories matching FILE_PATTERN
- --exclude-from=FILE
- skip files matching any file pattern from FILE
- --exclude-dir=PATTERN
- directories that match PATTERN will be skipped
- -L, --files-without-match
- print only names of FILEs containing no match
- -l, --files-with-matches
- print only names of FILEs containing matches
- -c, --count
- print only a count of matching lines per FILE
- -T, --initial-tab
- make tabs line up (if needed)
- -Z, --null
- print 0 byte after FILE name
Context control:
- -B, --before-context=NUM
- print NUM lines of leading context
- -A, --after-context=NUM
- print NUM lines of trailing context
- -C, --context=NUM
- print NUM lines of output context
-
--color[=WHEN],
- --colour[=WHEN]
-
- use markers to highlight the matching strings; WHEN is `always', `never', or `auto'
- -U, --binary
- do not strip CR characters at EOL (MSDOS)
- -u, --unix-byte-offsets
- report offsets as if CRs were not there (MSDOS)
