FZY(1) FreeBSD General Commands Manual FZY(1)

fzy - A fuzzy text selector menu for the terminal.

fzy [OPTION]...

fzy is a fuzzy text selector/file finder for the terminal using a search similar to that of TextMate or CmdT.

fzy reads a list of newline-separated items from stdin to be displayed as a menu in the terminal. Upon pressing ENTER, the currently selected item is printed to stdout.

Entering text narrows the items using fuzzy matching. Results are sorted using heuristics for the best match.

-l, --lines=LINES
How many lines of items to display. If unspecified, defaults to 10 lines.
-p, --prompt=PROMPT
Input prompt (default: '> ')
-s, --show-scores
Show the scores for each item.
-t, --tty=TTY
Use TTY instead of the default tty device (/dev/tty).
-q, --query=QUERY
Use QUERY as the initial search query.
-e, --show-matches=QUERY
Non-interactive mode. Print the matches in sorted order for QUERY to stdout.
-h, --help
Usage help.
-v, --version
Usage help.
