NAME

grepdef - definition extractor for definition files

SYNOPSIS

grepdef regular-expression

DESCRIPTION

grepdef is a definition extractor for definitions in Modula-2 .def files. It understands the search strategy used by gpm(1) to find symbol files, and searches the same path to find definitions. It is of particular use to remind the user which library to import to access a particular identifier.

The program invokes grep(1) with the given regular expression as its argument, for every .def file on the search path. Every line which matches the pattern will be sent to standard output, with some slight reformatting so that filenames are not unnecessarily repeated. The program searches the current directory first, followed by each directory on the path $M2SYM.

BUGS

The program will list all lines which match the pattern, even those in comments or literal strings in the original .def file.
