mtfind(1)

Half-assed multithread grep clone

🔎 Find a sequence of characters within a file using multiple threads

What's this?

mtfind(1) is a cross-platform utility that searches for a given sequence of ASCII characters in a file spawning the supplied number of threads.

It is also my own approach for the second assignment for my Operating Systems II course.

Quick start

# Clone this repository
git clone https://github.com/anpep/mtfind
# Build rzctl
cd mtfind && make
# Try it out!
./mtfind
