Package: ack-grep (1.80-1)

A grep-like program specifically for large source trees

Ack is designed as a replacement for 99% of the uses of grep. ack is intelligent about the files it searches. It knows about certain file types, based on both the extension on the file and, in some cases, the contents of the file.

Ack also ignores backup files and files under .cvs and .svn directories.
