Neutrino

Options:

-c
Case-sensitive pattern match. The default is case-insensitive.

-r
Don't recursively search subdirectories. The default is to recurse.
-R
Recursively search symbolic links. The default is not to recurse.

The types of files to look for. Combine one or more of:
-x position[%][r]
The x coordinate of the upper-left corner of the window, in pixels, or as a percentage of screen width if % is specified. If r is specified, the coordinate is relative to the current console.
-y position[%][r]
The y coordinate of the upper-left corner of the window, in pixels, or as a percentage of screen height if % is specified. If r is specified, the coordinate is relative to the current console.
