FIND(nged)

✨ FIND(nged) ✨

okay so this is the find page from the BRL-CAD User Commands manual, and honestly? it's giving detective energy 🔍💅

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

find — find all references to objects

like, who's talking about this object behind its back? we're about to find out 🕵️‍♀️

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

find [-a] <objects>

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

The find command searches the BRL-CAD database and displays a list of all combination objects (regions, assemblies, etc.) that have any of the specified objects as a member. 💖

so basically: you hand it an object, it hands you back everybody who claims that object as a member. it's the friend-group audit fr fr.

heads up bestie — this command only searches through non-hidden combination nodes unless you use the -a option. lowkey important, don't forget it 🙈

oh and also: the dbfind command is an exact alias of this command. same vibe, different name, iconic behavior 👑

---

✨ OPTIONS ✨

• -a — Include hidden objects in the search. 🔥 (yes, the sneaky ones too)

---

🌈 EXAMPLES 🌈

Example 1. Find all references to a specific object

mged> find shapea

Lists the names of all non-hidden combinations that refer to shapea as a member. slay, now you know exactly who's in shapea's orbit 💫

if you made it this far, ily 🥰 this page is from the BRL-CAD source, FIND(nged) — the manual name is right there in the title and the section is the BRL-CAD User Commands one. no date on this bad boy, so we're just gonna leave it at that. mwah 💋✨
