aegrep(1) aegrep(1) NAME aegrep - print lines matching a pattern SYNOPSIS aegrep [ option... ] pattern aegrep -Help aegrep -VERSion DESCRIPTION The aegrep command is used to search the source files for lines con- taining a match to the given pattern. By default, aegrep prints the matching lines. There is no need to name files on the command line, all the project and change source files are supplied automatically. All non-source files are ignored. Most of the grep(1) options are understood, in their long form. OPTIONS The following options are understood: --After-Context=number Print number lines of trailing context after matching lines. Places a line containing a group separator (--) between con- tiguous groups of matches. --Before-Context=number Print number lines of trailing context before matching lines. Places a line containing a group separator (--) between con- tiguous groups of matches. --Byte-Offset Print the 0-based byte offset within the input file before each line of output. -Change number This option may be used to specify a particular change within a project. See aegis(1) for a complete description of this option. --color Surround the matched (non-empty) strings, matching lines, con- text lines, file names, line numbers, byte offsets, and sepa- rators (for fields and groups of context lines) with escape sequences to display them in color on the terminal. --Context=number Print number lines of output context. Places a line contain- ing a group separator (--) between contiguous groups of matches. --Count Suppress normal output; instead print a count of matching lines for each input file. With --invert-match option count non-matching lines. --extended-regexp Interpret pattern as an extended regular expression. --Files-With-Matches Suppress normal output; instead print the name of each input file from which output would normally have been printed. The scanning will stop on the first match. --Files-WithOut-Matches Suppress normal output; instead print the name of each input file from which no output would normally have been printed. The scanning will stop on the first match. --fixed-strings Interpret pattern as a list of fixed strings, separated by newlines, any of which is to be matched. -Help This option may be used to obtain more information about how to use the aegrep program. --Ignore-Case Ignore case distinctions in both the pattern and the source files. --Invert-Match Invert the sense of matching, to select non-matching lines. --Initial-Tab Make sure that the first character of actual line content lies on a tab stop, so that the alignment of tabs looks normal. --Line-Buffered Use line buffering on output. --Line-Number Prefix each line of output with the 1-based line number within its input file. --Line-Regexp --Maximum-Count=number Stop reading a file after number matching lines. --no-messages Suppress error messages about nonexistent or unreadable files. --Only-Matching Print only the matched (non-empty) parts of a matching line, with each such part on a separate output line. --Perl-Regexp Interpret pattern as a Perl regular expression. -Project name This option may be used to select the project of interest. When no -Project option is specified, the AEGIS_PROJECT envi- ronment variable is consulted. If that does not exist, the user's $HOME/.aegisrc file is examined for a default project field (see aeuconf(5) for more information). If that does not exist, when the user is only working on changes within a sin- gle project, the project name defaults to that project. Oth- erwise, it is an error. --Unix-Byte-Offset Report Unix-style byte offsets. --Word-Regexp Select only those lines containing matches that form whole words. The test is that the matching substring must either be at the beginning of the line, or preceded by a non-word con- stituent character. Similarly, it must be either at the end of the line or followed by a non-word constituent character. Word-constituent characters are letters, digits, and the un- derscore. See also aegis(1) for options common to all aegis commands. All options may be abbreviated; the abbreviation is documented as the upper case letters, all lower case letters and underscores (_) are op- tional. You must use consecutive sequences of optional letters. All options are case insensitive, you may type them in upper case or lower case or a combination of both, case is not important. For example: the arguments "-project", "-PROJ" and "-p" are all inter- preted to mean the -Project option. The argument "-prj" will not be understood, because consecutive optional characters were not supplied. Options and other command line arguments may be mixed arbitrarily on the command line, after the function selectors. The GNU long option names are understood. Since all option names for aegrep are long, this means ignoring the extra leading '-'. The "--option=value" convention is also understood. EXIT STATUS The aegrep command will exit with a status of 1 on any error. The ae- grep command will only exit with a status of 0 if there are no errors. ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES See aegis(1) for a list of environment variables which may affect this command. See aepconf(5) for the project configuration file's project_specific field for how to set environment variables for all commands executed by Aegis.
