Question

You are part of a team working on a large program. The source code for this program is kept in the directory ~cs252/Assignments/commandsAsst/project. After a certain amount of debate, the team has decided to change the order of the parameters of the function binarySearch. Someone else is actually changing the definition of that function. Your job is to find all the places where that function is called and to make repairs as necessary. What command would you give to list all calls to that function? You should show the lines of code containing each call and the name of the file from in which each such line occurs. (It’s OK to produce a few incidental uses of the function name as well, because you will be inspecting the output before actually making the changes.)

Explanation / Answer

If you want to find all instances of function name you can just do a recursive grep command on the directory.

This ts done with the -r option to grep.

grep -r PATTERN <directory_name_to_search_goes_here>

where PATTERN would be the function name and the directory to search would be your project directory.
