As a related matter, we should add -info_include, because I think it's common that you know what you are looking for than that you can enumerate everything you're not looking for. I use | grep -A2 ts_type and have export 'GREP_OPTIONS=--binary-files=without-match --directories=skip --color=auto' so that the relevant bits are hilighted, thus making scanning faster. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
