FINDORULE(1p)

✨ NAME ✨

findorule — bestie, it's a command line wrapper to File::Find::Object::Rule 💅

---

🎀 VERSION 🎀

version 0.0313 — yeah she's got a version, she's official, periodt.

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so. findorule mostly borrows the interface from GNU find(1) to give you a command-line interface onto the File::Find::Object::Rule hierarchy of modules. it's giving "find but make it Perl" and honestly? iconic.

The syntax for expressions is the rule name, preceded by a dash, followed by an optional argument. And here's the lil plot twist: if that argument is an opening parenthesis, it gets taken as a list of arguments, terminated by a closing parenthesis. so basically the parens are doing a whole little ensemble number. 🫶

Some examples, bestie, look:

 find -file -name ( foo bar )

files named foo or bar, below the current directory. slay.

 find -file -name foo -bar

files named foo, that have pubs (for this is what our fictitious bar clause specifies), below the current directory. yes the pubs detail is canon, don't @ me 😭

 find -file -name ( -bar )

files named -bar, below the current directory. In this case if we'd have omitted the parenthesis it would have parsed as a call to name with no arguments, followed by a call to -bar. so the parens are genuinely load-bearing, no cap. 🔥

💜 Supported switches 💜

I'm very slack. 😭 Please consult the File::Find::Object::Rule manpage for now, and prepend - to the commands that you want. that's it, that's the whole vibe. go read the other page, iykyk.

🌈 Extra bonus switches 🌈

findorule automatically loads all of your installed File::Find::Object::Rule::* extension modules, so check the documentation to see what those would be. surprise bonus content, we love to see it. 🎁

🌸 USAGE 🌸

 findorule [path...] [expression]
