CMIGREP(1)						      General Commands Manual							CMIGREP(1)

NAME

       cmigrep - search in ocaml compiled interface files

SYNOPSIS

       cmigrep <options> <module-expression>

DESCRIPTION

       This  manual  page  documents  briefly the cmigrep command.  This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution because the
       original program does not have a manual page.

       cmigrep allows to search for information in compiled interfaces of OCaml modules.  By default, the search applies to the modules  described
       in the .cmi files in the curent directory and in the ocaml standard directory, but this can be changed with the -I option (see below).

       The  argument  <module-expr>  can  be  an  exact  module  name, or a shell wildcard. Multiple modules can be specified. Example: "ModA ModB
       Foo*.Make" means to search ModA, ModB, and any submodule Make of a module that starts with Foo.

OPTIONS

   General Options
       -I directory
	      Add directory to the search path for modules

	      comma separated list of open modules (in order!)
