                     12: grep searches each file for occurrences of the pattern (sometimes
                     13: called  a regular  expression).  If  no  file is  specified, grep
                     14: searches the  standard input.  The  pattern is given  in the same
                     15: manner as  to ed.  Normally,  grep prints each  line matching the
                     16: pattern.
                     17: 
                     18: The following options are available.
                     19: 
                     20: -bb  With  each output line,  print the block number  in which the
                     21:     line started (used to search file systems).
                     22: 
                     23: -cc  Print the count of matching lines rather than the lines.
                     24: 
                     25: -ee  The  next argument is  pattern (useful if  the pattern starts
                     26:     with `-').
                     27: 
                     28: -ff  The  next argument  is a file  containing a list  of patterns
                     29:     separated by newlines; there is no pattern argument.
                     30: 
                     31: -hh  When more than one  file is specified, output lines are norm-
                     32:     ally accompanied by the file name; -h suppresses this.
                     33: 
                     34: -ll  Print the name  of each file containing matching lines rather
                     35:     than the lines.
                     36: 
                     37: -nn  The line number in the file accompanies each line printed.
                     38: 
                     39: -ss  Suppress all output, just return status.
                     40: 
                     41: -vv  Print a line if the pattern is not found in the line.
                     42: 
                     43: -xx  Print the line only if it is exactly the same as the pattern;
                     44:     treat wildcards in the pattern as plain text.
                     45: 
                     46: -yy  Lower-case letters in the pattern match lower-case and upper-
                     47:     case letters on the input lines.
                     48:

                     55: grep  returns an  exit status  of  zero for  success, one  for no
                     56: matches, two for error.
