Greple module to use find command

NAME

find - Greple module to use find command

greple -Mfind find-options – greple-options …

Provide find command option with ending --.

Greple will invoke find command with provided options and read its output from STDIN, with option –readlist. So

greple -Mfind . -type f -- pattern

is equivalent to:

find . -type f | greple --readlist pattern

If the first argument start with !, it is taken as a command name and executed in place of find. You can search git managed files like this:

greple -Mfind !git ls-files -- pattern
