aag: per-file logical AND of multiple ag searches
Usage:
aag [path ..] ----] [opts] <pattern> --- [opts] <pattern> [--- [opts] <pattern> ..]
Paths can either be passed at the beginning of the command line followed by ----,
or they can be piped to stdin separated by newlines.
Caveats and bugs:
- aag is a 'naive' interface to ag in that it doesn't attempt to parse or
understand any options passed to ag, and makes a few assumptions about your
usage.
Because of this, aag does not necessarily play niceley with all ag options.
Some may cause aag to break, while others may produce unexpected output.
For example, when using ag's -w option, the final output will highlight any
non-word matches of the pattern if they exist, although the list of matched
files will still be correct.
Generally, options that modify the way output is displayed will not work.
Options that are known to be unsupported:
-A, -B -c, --color*, -C, -D, --nofilename, -g, -l, -m, --numbers, -o, --pager,
--print-ling-lines, --passthrough, --stats*, --version, --vimgrep, -0
- If there are more than ARG_MAX (see sysconf(3)) candidate files for the first
search, aag will crash. To work around this, try making your first search more
specific and/or limit the number/depth of paths searched.
- Output will not be displayed until the end of program execution.
