DESCRIPTION

       Query  ID database and report results.  By default, output consists of multiple lines, each line containing the matched identifier followed
       by the list of file names in which it occurs.

       -f, --file=FILE
	      file name of ID database

       -i, --ignore-case
	      match PATTERN case insensitively

       -l, --literal
	      match PATTERN as a literal string

       -r, --regexp

	      match PATTERN as a delimited word

       -s, --substring
	      match PATTERN as a substring

	      Note: If PATTERN contains extended regular expression metacharacters, it is interpreted as a regular expression  substring.   Other-
	      wise, PATTERN is interpreted as a literal word.

       -k, --key=STYLE
	      STYLE is one of `token', `pattern' or `none'

       -R, --result=STYLE
	      STYLE is one of `filenames', `grep', `edit' or `none'

	      The above STYLE options control how query results are presented.	Defaults are --key=token --result=filenames --separator=space

       -F, --frequency=FREQ
	      find tokens that occur FREQ times, where FREQ is a range expressed as `N..M'.  If N is omitted, it defaults to 1, if M is omitted it
	      defaults to MAX_USHRT

       -a, --ambiguous=LEN
	      find tokens whose names are ambiguous for LEN chars
