NAME App::abgrep - Print lines matching a pattern VERSION This document describes version 0.009 of App::abgrep (from Perl distribution App-abgrep), released on 2022-11-04. FUNCTIONS abgrep Usage: abgrep(%args) -> [$status_code, $reason, $payload, \%result_meta] Print lines matching a pattern. This is a grep-like utility that is based on AppBase::Grep, mainly for demoing and testing the module. The unique features include multiple patterns and "--dash-prefix-inverts". This function is not exported. Arguments ('*' denotes required arguments): * all => *true* Require all patterns to match, instead of just one. * color => *str* (default: "auto") Specify when to show color (never, always, or auto/when interactive). * count => *true* Supress normal output, return a count of matching lines. * dash_prefix_inverts => *bool* When given pattern that starts with dash "-FOO", make it to mean "^(?!.*FOO)". This is a convenient way to search for lines that do not match a pattern. Instead of using "-v" to invert the meaning of all patterns, this option allows you to invert individual pattern using the dash prefix, which is also used by Google search and a few other search engines. * dereference_recursive => *true* Read all files under each directory, recursively, following all symbolic links, unlike -r. * files => *array[filename]* (No description) * ignore_case => *bool* If set to true, will search case-insensitively. * invert_match => *bool* Invert the sense of matching. * line_number => *true* Show line number along with matches. * pattern => *str* Specify *string* to search for. * quiet => *true* Do not print matches, only return appropriate exit code. * recursive => *true* Read all files under each directory, recursively, following symbolic links only if they are on the command line. * regexps => *array[str]* Specify additional *regexp pattern* to search for. Returns an enveloped result (an array). First element ($status_code) is an integer containing HTTP-like status code (200 means OK, 4xx caller error, 5xx function error). Second element ($reason) is a string containing error message, or something like "OK" if status is 200. Third element ($payload) is the actual result, but usually not present when enveloped result is an error response ($status_code is not 2xx). Fourth element (%result_meta) is called result metadata and is optional, a hash that contains extra information, much like how HTTP response headers provide additional metadata.

AUTHOR perlancar CONTRIBUTING To contribute, you can send patches by email/via RT, or send pull requests on GitHub. Most of the time, you don't need to build the distribution yourself. You can simply modify the code, then test via: % prove -l If you want to build the distribution (e.g. to try to install it locally on your system), you can install Dist::Zilla, Dist::Zilla::PluginBundle::Author::PERLANCAR, Pod::Weaver::PluginBundle::Author::PERLANCAR, and sometimes one or two other Dist::Zilla- and/or Pod::Weaver plugins. Any additional steps required beyond that are considered a bug and can be reported to me. COPYRIGHT AND LICENSE This software is copyright (c) 2022, 2021, 2020, 2018 by perlancar .
