squiz

Search for and examine AIPS++ sources.

Synopsis

squiz [-c category] [-e|-E expression] [-l] [-F] [-p package] [file]

Description

squiz searches for AIPS++ source files and optionally searches for strings inside the files it finds. Wildcarding is allowed in the file specification and the search is case insensitive by default.

If no file is specified the default is to search for (i.e. list) all files.

Options

-c category

Restrict the search to a certain category:

• application, apps, app: Application source files.

• fortran, for, ftn: FORTRAN sources.

• implement, imp: Class implementation files.

• test, tst: Test programs.

The default is to search everything.

-e expression

Perform a case insensitive search for the specified expression in all selected files. grep-type regular expressions are allowed. See also the -l option.

-E expression

Case sensitive version of the -e option.

-F

Do a case sensitive search for the files named.

-l

Only list the names of files that contain a match to the expression as specified in -e.

-p package

Restrict the search to a particular package (see §1.1.1). The default is to search all packages.

Whitespace is allowed between short-form options and their arguments.

Diagnostics

Status return values
0: success
1: initialization error

Examples

The following command will search for all files in and below the implement directory of the aips package (that is code/aips/implement/...) whose name contains the string ``aips'' (case insensitive) and will search inside each file that it finds looking for the string ``debug'' (case insensitive).

   squiz -c imp -e debug -p aips "*aips*"

The following simply counts the number of files in the doc package:

   squiz -p doc | wc -l

Finally, this example will list out all files that contain the expression ``plonk'':

   squiz -l -e plonk
