How does `find` work, again? `man find` will tell you, but\nyou\u0027ll have to pore through all the flags and options just to figure out a\nbasic usage. And what about using `tar`? Even with the man pages `tar` is\n[famously inscrutable without the googling for examples](http://xkcd.com/1168/).\n\nNo more!\n\n`eg` will give you useful examples right at the command line. Think of it as a\ncompanion tool for `man`.\n\n\u003e `eg` comes from _exempli gratia_, and is pronounced like the letters: \"ee\ngee\".\n\n![eg Demo](./eg-demo.gif)\n\n\n## Installation\n\n### With `pip`\n\n```shell\npip install eg\n```\n\n### With `brew`\n\n```shell\nbrew install eg-examples\n```\n\n### Run from source\n\nClone the repo and create a symlink to `eg_exec.py`. Make sure the location you\nchoose for the symlink is on your path:\n\n\n```shell\ngit clone https://github.com/srsudar/eg ./\nln -s /absolute/path/to/eg-repo/eg_exec.py /usr/local/bin/eg\n```\n\n\u003e Note that the location of `eg_exec.py` changed in version 0.1.x in order to\nsupport Python 3 as well as 2. Old symlinks will print a message explaining the\nchange, but you\u0027ll have to update your links to point at the new location. Or\nyou can install with `pip` or `brew`.\n\n`eg` doesn\u0027t ship with a binary. Dependencies are very modest and should not\nrequire you to install anything (other than [pytest](https://docs.pytest.org) if\nyou want to run the tests).  If you find otherwise, open an issue.\n\n\n## Usage\n\n`eg \u003cprogram\u003e`\n\n`eg` takes an argument that is the name of a program for which it contains\nexamples.\n\n`eg find` will provide examples for the `find` command.\n\n`eg --list` will show all the commands for which `eg` has examples.\n\nThe complete usage statement, as shown by `eg --help`, is:\n\n```\neg [-h] [-v] [-f CONFIG_FILE] [-e EXAMPLES_DIR] [-c C",
