usages

usages

Finds usage sites of a named symbol, with a choice of report width. Reach for it when you want a usages listing outside the IDE, or want to understand what backs the "Usages" search kind in the Symbol Search dialog.

Running it from the CLI

drag-lint usages --name <X> [--width narrow|wide|very-wide] [--db <path>] [--depth N] [--format json]

--name <X> is the symbol to search for. --width controls report width (narrow, wide, or very-wide). --depth N is in the usage line with no further description -- not documented. --format json is the only format the usage line lists.

Reaching it in the IDE

No main-menu item calls this directly. The "Symbol Search..." dialog (drag-lint > Symbol Search...) has a "Kind" dropdown with Symbol, Text, and Usages options; choosing "Usages" and running a search shells out to this verb (source: SearchForm.pas:155).

What it needs

Optional, per the feature map's Index column.

Example

Illustrative only:

drag-lint usages --name TCustomerOrder --width wide --db C:\Projects\MyApp\_D-RAG\MyApp.sqlite --format json

This would list usage sites of TCustomerOrder as JSON, at "wide" report width.
