Re: [9fans] tip o' the day

Here are some simple shortcuts I find useful during development.

fn f { du -a $* | sed 's/^.*	//g' }    <-- that whitespace is a tab
 	Tree enumerator (simple "find") useful for many purposes

fn s { lc *.[chsyl] }
 	List out the sources in the current directory.  Similar
 	to an example in the rc paper if I remember correctly.

fn gn { grep -n $* /dev/null }
 	Grep, but force listing of filename:lineno so you
 	can click on an entry to jump to it in an editor.

fn g { grep -n $* *.[chsyl] /dev/null }
 	gn on all sources in the current directory

(how about a plumber command that ran grep -n on the files
in the current directory and the include directory?  Then
you could plumb words to it in acme with mouse chording to
quickly crossreference keywords in the src tree.  I tried
goofing with that once but failed pretty miserably).
