percol (interactive selection for UNIX pipes)
|
|
|
|
An interactive grep tool in your terminal. Percol does the following:
|
|
|
|
1. receives input lines from stdin or a file, 2. lists the input
|
|
lines, 3. waits for your input that filters/selects the line(s),
|
|
4. and finally outputs the selected line(s) to stdout.
|
|
|
|
Since percol just filters the input and outputs the result to
|
|
stdout, it can be used in command-chains with | in your shell (UNIX
|
|
philosophy!).
|
|
|
|
Package includes command completion for zsh, plus a /etc/percol.zsh
|
|
script that adds extra functionality (see the comments at the top of
|
|
the script for instructions on using it).
|
|
|
|
There is no man page; run "percol --help" for a list of options, and
|
|
read /usr/doc/percol-$VERSION/README.md for key bindings and examples.
