# cmigrep(1)

search in ocaml compiled interface files

## NAME

cmigrep - search in ocaml compiled interface files

## SYNOPSIS

**cmigrep** \<options\> \<module-expression\>

## DESCRIPTION

*This manual page documents briefly the* **cmigrep** command. This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution because the original program does not have a manual page.

**cmigrep** searches for information in compiled interfaces of OCaml modules. By default, the search applies to the modules described in the *.cmi* files in the curent directory and in the ocaml standard directory, but this can be changed with the -I option (see below).

The argument *\<module-expr\>* can be an exact module name, or a shell wildcard. Multiple modules can be specified. Example: "ModA ModB Foo\*.Make" means to search ModA, ModB, and any submodule Make of a module that starts with Foo.

## OPTIONS

### General Options

- **-I directory**

  Add *directory* to the search path for modules

- **-package packages**

  comma separated list of findlib packages to search

- **open modules**

  comma separated list of open modules (in order!)

- **-help, --help**

  display list of options

### Search Patterns

- **-t regexp**

  print types with matching names

- **-r regexp**

  print record field labels with matching names

- **-c regexp**

  print constructors with matching names

- **-p regexp**

  print polymorphic variants with matching names

- **-m regexp**

  print all matching module names in the path

- **-e regexp**

  print exceptions with matching constructors

- **-v regexp**

  print values with matching names

- **-o regexp**

  print all classes with matching names

- **-a regexp**
