ugrep:tldr:51b48

ugrep: Search only files whose filenames match a specific glob pattern.
$ ugrep --glob="${glob_pattern}" "${search_pattern}"
try on your machine

The command you provided is using the utility tool ugrep to perform a search operation. Here is a breakdown of the command:

  • ugrep: It stands for "universal grep" and is a versatile version of the grep command used for searching patterns within files or directories.

  • --glob="${glob_pattern}": This option sets the glob pattern to match filenames or paths that will be searched. In this case, the value of glob_pattern is specified using the variable syntax ${glob_pattern}. The actual pattern should be substituted in place of ${glob_pattern} when executing the command.

  • "${search_pattern}": This argument sets the search pattern to look for within the specified files or directories. Similar to the previous option, ${search_pattern} is a variable that should be replaced with the desired search pattern when running the command.

Overall, the command will search for the search_pattern within files or directories that match the glob_pattern using the ugrep tool.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
