GREPJAR(1)

💖 GREPJAR — like, the girlies of grep but for jar files 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the GREPJAR(1) manual page, living under the GNU umbrella 🫶. She's the one who searches through the files inside a jar file looking for a pattern, and honestly? iconic behaviour. Let's get into it ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

grepjar — search files in a jar file for a pattern 🔍

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

grepjar [-bcinsw] -e PATTERN | PATTERN files...

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So the grepjar program can be used to search files in a jar file for a pattern. That's it. That's the whole vibe check. 💅

✨ OPTIONS ✨

• -b — print the byte offset of the match, so you know exactly where it's at fr
• -c — print the number of matches instead
• -i — compare case-insensitively, because uppercase and lowercase are both valid divas 💅
• -n — print the line number of each match
• -s — suppress error messages (shhh 🤫)
• -w — force PATTERN to match only whole words, no partial-matching nonsense
• -e PATTERN — use PATTERN as a regular expression
• --help — print help, then exit
• -V, --version — print version number, then exit
