defid(1)


NAME

   defid - [DESCRIPTION]

SYNOPSIS

   gid [OPTION]... PATTERN...

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
          match PATTERN as a substring

          Note:   If   PATTERN   contains   extended   regular  expression
          metacharacters,  it  is  interpreted  as  a  regular  expression
          substring.  Otherwise, PATTERN is interpreted as a literal word.

   -k, --key=STYLE
          STYLE is one of `token', `pattern' or `none'

   -R, --result=STYLE
          STYLE is one of `filenames', `grep', `edit' or `none'

   -S, --separator=STYLE
          STYLE  is one of `braces', `space' or `newline' and only applies
          to file names when `--result=filenames'

          The above STYLE options control how query results are presented.
          Defaults are --key=token --result=filenames --separator=space

   -F, --frequency=FREQ
          find  tokens  that  occur  FREQ  times,  where  FREQ  is a range
          expressed as `N..M'.  If N is omitted, it defaults to 1, if M is
          omitted it defaults to MAX_USHRT

   -a, --ambiguous=LEN
          find tokens whose names are ambiguous for LEN chars

   -x, --hex
          only find numbers expressed as hexadecimal

   -d, --decimal
          only find numbers expressed as decimal

   -o, --octal
          only find numbers expressed as octal

          By default, searches match numbers of any radix.

   --help display this help and exit

   --version
          output version information and exit
