```

### `del`

todo.sh rm ITEM# [TERM]
```

### `depri`

### `list`

Each task must match all TERM(s) (logical AND); to display tasks that contain any TERM (logical OR), use `"TERM1\|TERM2\|..."` (with quotes), or `TERM1\\|TERM2` (unquoted). Hides all tasks that contain TERM(s) preceded by a minus sign (i.e. `-TERM`).

todo.sh ls [TERM...]
```

```shell
todo.sh listfile [SRC [TERM...]]
todo.sh lf [SRC [TERM...]]
