NAME¶
findorule - command line wrapper to File::Find::Object::Rule
USAGE¶
findorule [path...] [expression]
DESCRIPTION¶
"findorule" mostly borrows the interface from GNU
find(1) to
provide a command-line interface onto the File::Find::Object::Rule heirarchy
of modules.
The syntax for expressions is the rule name, preceded by a dash, followed by an
optional argument. If the argument is an opening parenthesis it is taken as a
list of arguments, terminated by a closing parenthesis.
Some examples:
find -file -name ( foo bar )
files named "foo" or "bar", below the current directory.
find -file -name foo -bar
files named "foo", that have pubs (for this is what our ficticious
"bar" clause specifies), below the current directory.
find -file -name ( -bar )
files named "-bar", below the current directory. In this case if we'd
have omitted the parenthesis it would have parsed as a call to name with no
arguments, followed by a call to -bar.
Supported switches¶
I'm very slack. Please consult the File::Find::Object::Rule manpage for now, and
prepend - to the commands that you want.
findorule automatically loads all of your installed File::Find::Object::Rule::*
extension modules, so check the documentation to see what those would be.
