Note1: GRAFFITH,ini: each line represents a pattern
GRAFFITH,lst: each line represents a BSC file
GRAFFITH,log: each line is a Blunderbuss(wildcard function) hit
Note2: If pattern contains at least one wildcard then Blunderbuss is evoked for
each line in the file, otherwise Railgun is evoked for the entire file.
Note3: Five wildcards are available:
wildcard '*' any character(s) or empty,
wildcard '@' any character or empty,
wildcard '#' any character and not empty,
wildcard '$' any ALPHA character and not empty,
wildcard '%' any NON-ALPHA character and not empty.
Note4: Due to different line endings(CRLF in Windows; LF in UNIX)
you must add a '@' wildcard in place of CR:
for example in case of searching for '*.pdf' write '*.pdf@'.
Note5: A pseudo bug exists uncrushed - End-Of-File must be LF character.
