Version 2.1.0, February 2019
hi [-l|-w|-p] [OPTIONS] [--] KEYWORD...
hi -L [OPTIONS] [--] RANGE...hi reads text from the standard input and prints its input on the standard output. Lines containing at least one of the given keywords will be colorized with ANSI escape codes.
$ make
# make install
This will compile the binary and copy it to /usr/local/bin/hi. The man page will be copied to /usr/local/share/man/man.1/hi.1.gz.
The program operates in one of several
output modes.
The default output mode is -l.
- -l, --lines
Highlight lines: All lines containing at least one of the KEYWORDs will be highlighted in the output. - -p, --paragraphs
Highlight paragraphs: All paragraphs containing at least one of the KEYWORDs will be highlighted in the output. - -w, --words
Highlight words: Only the KEYWORDs themselves will be colorized in the output. - -L, --explicit, --ranges
Explicit mode: In this mode, there are no KEYWORDs. Instead, the program takes one or more line number RANGEs which will be colorized. For example, the invocation “hi -L 3 8-10 5” will highlight lines 3, 5, 8, 9, and 10 but nothing else. Line numbers start at 1.
- -i, --ignore-case
Enable case-insensitive matching. This is the default. Note that the program is unaware of locales and can only compare plain ASCII letters (A..Z) case-insensitively; all other characters will be compared byte-for-byte. - -I, --case-sensitive
Enable case-sensitive matching. The opposite of -i. - -c, --color COLOR
Select the output highlighting color. Recognized colors are:- yellow/ye/yw (default),
- red/re/rd,
- blue/bl,
- green/gr/gn,
- cyan/cy/cn,
- white/wh.
- -h, --help
Show program help. - -V, --version
Show program version information.
