nice. how did you find this?
Hi,
This is based on a bash script I've made a while ago (see [1])
I've slightly updated it, but the idea is still the same. I search
strings in a file with some variation on the file name (2 inverted
chars, 1 missing char or 1 modified char).
The output is horrible, and a lot of filtering should be done.
It is much like noise, with MANY false positives. But I manage to dig
some interesting stuff out of it.
If interested in the updated script, just ask, but except the concept
itself, I'm not sure than anything else worth anything and is should be
rewritten from scratch.
The update includes some tweaks in order to search into Kconfig files
instead.

Nice.
I was wondering if you used levenshtein distance or something else.

Well, kind of hand-written version :)
If of any interest:

I don't remember having played with it myself, but it looks interesting.
