DESCRIPTION¶
Query ID database and report results. By default, output consists of multiple lines, each line containing the matched identifier followed by the list of file names in which it occurs.
- -f, --file=FILE
- file name of ID database
- -i, --ignore-case
- match PATTERN case insensitively
- -l, --literal
- match PATTERN as a literal string
- -r, --regexp
- match PATTERN as a regular expression
- -w, --word
- match PATTERN as a delimited word
- -s, --substring
