NAME
       nigrep  -  search  for a regular expression in the NetInfo
       hierarchy

SYNOPSIS
       nigrep expression [ -t ] domain [ directory ... ]

DESCRIPTION
       nigrep searches through the specified domain argument  for
       a  regular expression.  It searches the domain's directory
       hierarchy depth-first starting from the root directory. It
       can  also  start from each directory specified on the com-
       mand line.

       The domain argument can be specified  as  an  absolute  or
       relative domain name. The domain argument can be specified
       as a network address or hostname and tag  if  preceded  by
       the -t option.

       On  output,  nigrep  prints the directory ID number of the
       directory which contains the regular expression,  and  the
       property  key  and  values  where it was found.  A line is
       printed  for  each  property  that  contains  the  regular
       expression.


OPTIONS
       -t     Specify domain as a network address or hostname and
              tag.


EXAMPLES
       % nigrep '[Nn]et' /
