NAME
findsrc - walk directories, trying to find source files
SYNOPSIS
findsrc [ -. ] [ -dy_or_n ] [ -ooutput_file ] [ -R ] [ -S ]
[ -v ] [ file... ]
DESCRIPTION
Findsrc recursively examines all directories and files
specified on the command line, and determines, based on the
file name, whether the file contains source code or not.
All directories are listed first, followed by all regular
files, with one item per line.
If findsrc is unable to make a decision, it invokes the
file(1) command, and prompts the user for a decision. In
reply to the prompt, type the letter ``y'' or ``n'' (either
case); RETURN means yes. If the reply starts with an excla-
mation point, the rest of the line is passed off to a sub-
shell and the question is repeated. The ``-d'' option may
be used with an argument of ``y'' or ``n'' to by-pass the
interaction, and provide a default answer.
The ``-o'' option may be used to specify an output filename.
This is designed to prevent confusion if a command like the
following is executed:
findsrc . * >LIST
By default, findsrc ignores files whose names begin with a
period, like ``.newsrc'' or ``.tags''; such files may be
included by using the ``-.'' option. Findsrc also normally
ignores RCS and SCCS files and directories; using either the
``-R'' or ``-S'' option causes both to be included.
Findsrc normally lists only the names of those files that
have been selected. If the ``-v'' option is used, rejected
files are also listed preceeded by the word ``PUNTED.''
If no files are specified on the command line, the program
operates as a filter, reading a list of files and direc-
tories from the standard input, one per line.
