bfs



bfs

 [

option

] 

file

Big file scanner. Read a large file , using ed-like syntax. This command is more efficient than ed for scanning very large files because the file is not read into a buffer. Files can be up to 1024K bytes. bfs can be used to view a large file and identify sections to be divided with csplit . Not too useful.

Option

-

Do not print the file size.
