dash-search - match arguments against cruft filter patterns

dash-search [ file ] [ ... ]

dash-search Reads files in directories /usr/lib/cruft/filters-broken_symlinks /usr/lib/cruft/filters-frbn /usr/lib/cruft/filters-miss and /usr/lib/cruft/filters-unex and tries to match each command argument in turn against the patterns in those files, using the shellexp(3) funcition. Any argument which matches is printed on standard output, prefixed with the name of the file which contained the pattern which it matched.

Same as shellexp(3).
