NAME

match - type matching lines to standard output

SYNOPSIS

match -p 'pattern' [file...]

DESCRIPTION

This is a grep-like command.  Patterns are specified in shell-sytle wildcards, so a pattern of:

yak - will match all lines containing "yak"
foo*bar - will match lines containing "foo" followed by "bar".
[a-c]oo - will match lines containing "aoo", "boo" or "coo".

NOTE: It is important to put single quotes around patterns containing wildcards, so that the shell will not match them with file names.

RETURN CODES

<0	Error
0	Pattern found at least once
1	Pattern not found
