NAME

	bwild - Bacula's 'wildcard' engine

SYNOPSIS

       bwild [options] -f <data-file>

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the bwild command.
       This is a simple program that will allow you to test wild-card expressions against a file of data.

OPTIONS

       A summary of options is included below.

       -?     Show version and usage of program.

       -d nn  Set debug level to nn.

       -dt    Print timestamp in debug output

       -f <data-file>
	      The  data-file  is  a  filename that contains lines of data to be matched (or not) against one or more patterns. When the program is
	      run, it will prompt you for a wild-card pattern, then apply it one line at a time against the data  in  the  file.  Each	line  that
	      matches will be printed preceded by its line number. You will then be prompted again for another pattern.
	      Enter  an  empty line for a pattern to terminate the program. You can print only lines that do not match by using the -n option, and
	      you can suppress printing of line numbers with the -l option.

       -n     Print lines that do not match

       -l     Suppress lines numbers.

       -i     use case insensitive match.
