LABELGREP(1)

🎀 LABELGREP 🎀

ok so bestie, welcome to labelgrep(1) — your new fave lil' pattern searcher for the progressive label file life 💅 this one's from the General Commands Manual section, and honestly? she's giving main character energy for a one-page manpage ✨

---

✨ NAME ✨

labelgrep — a progressive label file searcher, aka the girl who finds your stuff 🔍💖

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

labelgrep pattern file [file ...]

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

okay so picture this 🌸 — labelgrep is a pattern searcher for the pln(5) format. literally what she does is:

• she displays the source file 📄
• she displays the label name 🏷️
• and she highlights the contents that match your regular expression 🔥

that's it, that's the vibe. no cap.

and one very important thing bestie, listen up 🙈 — lines beginning with # are ignored. like, completely. she doesn't see them, she doesn't care about them, they're not invited to the group chat 💀

---

✨ EXAMPLES ✨

🦋 find all of the instances where a service is restarted

labelgrep 'rcctl|systemctl' *.pln

slay, this one's searching every .pln file in the directory for rcctl or systemctl. iconic.

🦋 show all routes that include the wordpress configuration

labelgrep 'wordpress' routes.pln

look at her go, pulling all the wordpress-inspired routes out of routes.pln 🫶

---

✨ SEE ALSO ✨

• rset(1)
• re_format(7)

go give them a read too, iykyk 💜

---

✨ CAVEATS ✨

ngl, labelgrep does not attempt to validate the format of each file. 😭 she's trusting, okay? she's not out here checking anybody's homework — she just searches. so if your file is a mess, that's between you and your file. 💀

and that's the whole page bestie!! 💖 this lil' angel comes to you from Debian, dated January 17, 2026 ✨🦋 go forth and grep those labels, ily, mwah 🎀💅
