Usage

java -jar jargrep.jar [options] pattern [files...]?

See jargrep --help. The syntax is kinda similar to grep -e, although of course fewer things are supported.

If you don't specify any files, all jars/zips/classes in the current directory will be searched. (Might include jargrep itself!) The pattern is parsed as a standard java regex with Pattern.compile.
