Project Summary
FilePeruser is a program that recursively searches a given folders' files for a designated text string. It is designed to be quick, robust, and maintainable. It relies on POSIX-specific C extensions, and thus is not easily portable to non-Unix-like operating systems. There may be a time when it is cross-platform, but not yet.
