ptargrep:tldr:64881

The command ptargrep is used to search for a given pattern in a file or multiple files. Let's break down the components of this command:

• ptargrep: This is the name of the command being executed.
• --basename: It is an option provided by the ptargrep command. This option specifies that the filenames provided in the search should be matched against the specified search pattern as basenames (i.e., excluding the directory path).
• "${search_pattern}": This is a variable that represents the search pattern you want to look for. It is enclosed in double quotes to ensure that any special characters or spaces in the pattern are preserved.
• ${filename}: This is also a variable representing the filename(s) where the search should be performed. If there are multiple filenames to search, they are separated by spaces.

Overall, this command is used to search for a specific pattern (${search_pattern}) in the file (${filename}). The --basename option ensures that the filenames provided are matched without considering the directory path.
