|
||||
An Emacs mode that allows viewing, editing and searching in large
|
||||
files in chunks. Batch size can be adjusted on the fly and bounds the
|
||||
memory that is to be used for operations on the file.
|
||||
|
||||
- by chunk search
|
||||
- chunk editing
|
||||
- options to jump to end or beginning of file
|
||||
This mode builds on the bare bones GNU ELPA vlf.el. It adds the
|
||||
following improvements:
|
||||
|
||||
- proper dealing with Unicode
|
||||
- regular expression search on whole file (in constant memory
|
||||
determined by current batch size)
|
||||
- chunk editing (if size has changed, saving is done in constant
|
||||
memory determined by current batch size)
|
||||
- occur like indexing
|
||||
- options to jump to beginning, end or arbitrary file chunk
|
||||
- ability to jump/insert given number of batches at once
|
||||
- ability to view newly added content if the file has grown meanwhile
|
||||
- vlfi is added as an option when opening large files
|
||||
- newly added content is acknowledged if file has changed size
|
||||
meanwhile
|
||||
- automatic scrolling of batches
|
||||
- VLFI is added as an option when opening large files
|
||||
|
||||
GNU Emacs 23 and 24 are supported.
|
||||
|
||||
* Overview and tips
|
||||
|
||||
M-x vlfi PATH-TO-FILE
|
||||
|
||||
** Unicode
|
||||
|
||||
Emacs' Unicode support is leveraged so you'll not see bare bytes but
|
||||
characters decoded as if file is normally opened. This holds for
|
||||
editing, search and indexing.
|
||||
|
||||
** 32-bit GNU Emacs
|
||||
|
||||
Regular Emacs integers are used, so if you use 32-bit Emacs without
|
||||
bignum support and have really huge file (with size beyond the maximum
|
||||
integer value), VLFI will probably not quite work.
|
||||
|
||||
** Memory control
|
||||
|
||||
*vlfi-batch-size* bounds the memory used for all operations.
|
||||
|
||||
** Special mode
|
||||
|
||||
VLFI is derived from special-mode and keeps all its properties. For
|
||||
example you can directly press digits to enter prefix arguments.
|
||||
|
||||
** Changing major mode
|
||||
|
||||
You can (temporarily) change major mode to whatever you like (for
|
||||
example hexl-mode). Saving will insert contents as intended. You can
|
||||
return to *vlfi-mode* too.
|
||||
|
||||
* Detail usage
|
||||
|
||||
** Controlling batch size
|
||||
|
||||
*+* and *-* control current batch size by factors of 2.
|
||||
|
||||
You can also set by hand local variable *vlfi-batch-size* and then
|
||||
refresh with *g*.
|
||||
|
||||
** Move around
|
||||
|
||||
*M-PgUp* and *M-PgDn* move chunk by chunk. With positive prefix
|
||||
argument they move prefix number of batches. With negative - append
|
||||
prefix number of batches.
|
||||
|
||||
*[* and *]* take you to the beginning and end of file respectively.
|
||||
|
||||
*j* jumps to given chunk. To see where you are in file and how many chunks
|
||||
there are (using the current batch size), look at the bracketed part
|
||||
of the buffer name, batch size is also there - at the end.
|
||||
|
||||
** Search whole file
|
||||
|
||||
*s* and *r* search forward and backward respectively over the whole
|
||||
file. This is done chunk by chunk so if you have really huge file -
|
||||
you'd better set somewhat bigger batch size beforehand.
|
||||
|
||||
** Occur over whole file
|
||||
|
||||
*o* builds index for given regular expression just like occur-mode.
|
||||
It does this chunk by chunk over the whole file. Note that even if
|
||||
you prematurely stop it with *C-g*, it will still show index of what's
|
||||
found so far.
|
||||
|
||||
** Jump to line
|
||||
|
||||
*l* jumps to given line in file. This is done by searching from the
|
||||
beginning, so again the bigger current batch size, the quicker. With
|
||||
negative argument, lines are counted from the end of file.
|
||||
|
||||
** Edit
|
||||
|
||||
*e* enters VLFI in edit mode. If editing doesn't change size of
|
||||
the chunk, only this chunk is saved. Otherwise the remaining part of
|
||||
the file is adjusted chunk by chunk, so again you'd better have bigger
|
||||
current batch size. If chunk has been expanded the memory used is
|
||||
|
||||
#+BEGIN_EXAMPLE
|
||||
(batch size + difference to the original chunk size) x 2
|
||||
#+END_EXAMPLE
