NAME
grepdiff - show files modified by a diff containing a regex SYNOPSIS
grepdiff [-n] [-p n] [--strip=n] [--addprefix=PREFIX] [-s] [-i PATTERN] [-x PATTERN] {REGEX} [file...] grepdiff {--help | --version | --list | --filter ...} DESCRIPTION
For each file modified by a patch, if the patch hunk contains the REGEX then the file's name is printed. The regular expression is treated as POSIX Basic Regular Expression syntax. For example, to see the patches in my.patch which contain the regular expression ``pf_gfp_mask'', use: grepdiff pf_gfp_mask my.patch | xargs -rn1 filterdiff my.patch -i You can use both unified and context format diffs with this program. OPTIONS
-n Display the line number that each patch begins at. -p n When matching, ignore the first n components of the pathname. --strip=n Remove the first n components of the pathname before displaying it. --addprefix=PREFIX Prefix the pathname with PREFIX before displaying it. -s Show file additions, modifications and removals. A file addition is indicated by a ``+'', a removal by a ``-'', and a modification by a ``!''. -i PATTERN Include only files matching PATTERN. -x PATTERN Exclude files matching PATTERN. --help Display a short usage message. --version Display the version number of grepdiff. --filter Behave like filterdiff(1) instead. --list Behave like lsdiff(1) instead.

NAME
grepdiff - show files modified by a diff containing a regex SYNOPSIS
grepdiff [[-n] | [--line-number]] [--number-files] [[-p n] | [--strip-match=n]] [--strip=n] [--addprefix=PREFIX] [[-s] | [--status]] [[-i PATTERN] | [--include=PATTERN]] [[-x PATTERN] | [--exclude=PATTERN]] [[-v] | [--verbose]] [[-E] | [--extended-regexp]] [[-H] | [--with-filename]] [[-h] | [--no-filename]] [--output-matching=WHAT] {[REGEX] | [-f FILE]} [file...] grepdiff {[--help] | [--version] | [--list] | [--filter ...]} DESCRIPTION
For each file modified by a patch, if the patch hunk contains the REGEX then the file's name is printed. The regular expression is treated as POSIX Basic Regular Expression syntax, unless the -E option is given in which case POSIX Extended Regular Expression syntax is used. For example, to see the patches in my.patch which contain the regular expression "pf_gfp_mask", use: grepdiff pf_gfp_mask my.patch | xargs -rn1 filterdiff my.patch -i You can use both unified and context format diffs with this program. OPTIONS
-n, --line-number Display the line number that each patch begins at. If verbose output is requested, each matching hunk is listed as well. For a description of the output format see lsdiff(1). --number-files File numbers are listed, beginning at 1, before each filename. -p n, --strip-match=n When matching, ignore the first n components of the pathname. --strip=n Remove the first n components of the pathname before displaying it. --addprefix=PREFIX Prefix the pathname with PREFIX before displaying it. -s Show file additions, modifications and removals. A file addition is indicated by a "+", a removal by a "-", and a modification by a "!". -i PATTERN, --include=PATTERN Include only files matching PATTERN. -x PATTERN --exclude=PATTERN Exclude files matching PATTERN. -E, --extended-regexp Use POSIX Extended Regular Expression syntax. -H, --with-filename Print the name of the patch file containing each match. -h, --no-filename Suppress the name of the patch file containing each match. -f FILE, --file=FILE Read regular expressions from FILE, one per line. --output-matching=hunk|file Display the matching hunk-level or file-level diffs. --help Display a short usage message. --version Display the version number of grepdiff. --filter Behave like filterdiff(1) instead. --list Behave like lsdiff(1) instead.
