💅 DBFIND (nged) — the BRL-CAD user-command glow-up

okay bestie, welcome to the nged manual, this one's short and sweet and honestly kind of iconic 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

dbfind — the command that snitches on every combination in your database and tells you which ones are claiming one of your objects as a member 👀

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

dbfind [-a] <objects>

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so here's the vibe: dbfind goes digging through the BRL-CAD database and shows you a whole list of all combination objects (regions, assemblies, etc. — you know the ones) that have any of the objects you specified as a member. it's giving "who's talking about me" energy fr fr 🔍

quick heads-up though, bestie, this matters: this command only searches through non-hidden combination nodes — unless you pass that -a option, which unlocks the hidden stuff too 🔓

and one more thing, no cap: dbfind is an exact alias of the find command. literally the same thing, different name. iykyk 💅

🦋 OPTIONS 🦋

  • -a — include hidden objects in the search. that's it, that's the whole flag. she's simple and she slays ✨

🌈 EXAMPLES 🌈

⭐ Example 1. Display all combinations that refer to a specified object

mged> dbfind shapea

this lists the names of all non-hidden combinations that refer to shapea as a member. go off, shapea, you have fans apparently 💀🫶
