HIDESVN(1)             DragonFly General Commands Manual            HIDESVN(1)


NAME

     hidesvn - hide version control system data directories


SYNOPSIS

     hidesvn command ...


DESCRIPTION

     The hidesvn command can be prefixed to any commands to hide .git, .hg,
     .svn and CVS directories from calls to readdir() and readdir_r().  This
     is especially useful when using commands like grep(1) to search in
     directories recursively, but want to exclude any data files from version
     control systems from the results.


SEE ALSO

     readdir(3), readdir_r(3), rtld(1)


BUGS

     Because this application only changes the behaviour of readdir() and
     readdir_r(), applications that use functions like seekdir() and telldir()
     may get confused.

     Because hidesvn uses LD_PRELOAD to preload a library, hidesvn will not
     work with setuid applications.
