bin/relate  view on Meta::CPAN

You can just type:

  relate this with_this and_this -but_not_this

So essentially this script is the equivalent of

  locate primary_term | egrep term2 | egrep term3 [....| termN]

Though it also has a few other features, B<relate>:

  o  screens out "uninteresting" files by default (emacs backups, CVS/RCS files)
  o  has options to restrict reports to files, directories or symlinks.

An important performance hint: you can speed up relate
tremendously by using a relatively unique first term.  For
example, if you're on a unix box, you don't want to start
with something like "home" or "lib" which is going to match
a huge number of files in the locate database. You'll find
that "relate gdk lib" is faster than "relate lib gdk".

The first term should be a simple string (unless you've used the

bin/relate  view on Meta::CPAN

This script has the extremely useful feature of automatically
omitting uninteresting files, but it's guaranteed that you'll
be confused by this some day, so don't say I didn't warn you.

Remember that there's a "-a" option (also called "--all")
which overrides the default filter and returns all matches.

As of this writing, by default files are ignored that match
these patterns:

      '~$'       # emacs backups
      '/\#'      # emacs autosaves
      ',v$'      # cvs/rcs repository files
      '/CVS$'
      '/CVS/'
      '/RCS$'
      '\.elc$'   # compiled elisp

The default filter can be changed by editing the ~/.relate file.
