NAME

6       pfcat - grep out function definitions from perlfunc
7

DESCRIPTION

9       This program uses podgrep program to search your configuration's
10       perlfunc for function definitions.  It honors a -f flag to format
11       through pod2text and a -p flag to send the output through the pager.
12       (Actually, it just passes these to podgrep.)
13

EXAMPLES

15           $ pfcat seek
16           (find all seek functions (including sysseek))
17
18           $ pfcat -pf sprintf
19           (sprintf function is formated and sent to pager)
20
21           $ pfcat -f '\bint\b'
22           /usr/local/devperl/lib/5.00554/pod/perlfunc.pod chunk 506
23           int EXPR
24           int
25
26           Returns the integer portion of EXPR. If EXPR is omitted, uses
27           `$_'. You should not use this for rounding, because it truncates
28           towards `0', and because machine representations of floating point
29           numbers can sometimes produce counterintuitive results. Usually
30           `sprintf()' or `printf()', or the `POSIX::floor' or `POSIX::ceil'
31           functions, would serve you better.
32
33       You can also run this using alternate perl binaries, like so:
34
35           $ oldperl -S pfcat open
36           ....
