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.
It works somewhat like ack, but is not beholden to the argument flags that ack uses, unlike so many other ack clones.
Preliminary tests indicate that it searches faster than ack and with comparable speed to ag on cached directories, but lacks support for regular expressions, which likely is the reason it searches so fast. It works well, however, when looking for variables in well-formatted code with reasonable variable names.
