DESCRIPTION

bfs is a command line- and spartan GUI utility to search files backuped using databackup(1).

The backup media (external hard disk) does not need to be connected to search the backups.

If the bfs command is started from command line, the file list part is printed to stdout, the information headers are printed to stderr. The four file list fields are separated by tabulators.

When the bfs command is started from Desktop, Start Menu or thru a double click, it behaves as 'bfs filename' was called.
