files, +selecting lines that match one or more patterns. +By default, a pattern matches an input line if the regular expression +(RE) in the pattern matches the input line +without its trailing newline. +An empty expression matches every line. +Each input line that matches at least one of the patterns is written +to the standard output. +.Pp +.Nm grep +is used for simple patterns and +basic regular expressions +.Pq BREs ; +.Nm egrep +can handle extended regular expressions +.Pq EREs . +See +.Xr re_format 7 +for more information on regular expressions. +.Nm fgrep +is quicker than both +.Nm grep +and +.Nm egrep , +but can only handle fixed patterns +(i.e. it does not interpret regular expressions). +Patterns may consist of one or more lines, +allowing any of the pattern lines to match a portion of the input. +.Pp +.Nm zgrep , +.Nm zegrep , +and +.Nm zfgrep +act like +.Nm grep , +.Nm egrep , +and +.Nm fgrep , +respectively, but accept input files compressed with the +.Xr compress 1 +or +.Xr gzip 1 +compression utilities. +.Pp +The following options are available: +.Bl -tag -width indent +.It Fl A Ar num , Fl Fl after-context Ns = Ns Ar num +Print +.Ar num +lines of trailing context after each match. +See also the +.Fl B +and +.Fl C +options. +.It Fl a , Fl Fl text +Treat all files as ASCII text. +Normally +.Nm +will simply print +.Dq Binary file ... matches +if files contain binary characters. +Use of this option forces +.Nm +to output lines matching the specified pattern. +.It Fl B Ar num , Fl Fl before-context Ns = Ns Ar num +Print +.Ar num +lines of leading context before each match. +See also the +.Fl A +and +.Fl C +options. +.It Fl b , Fl Fl byte-offset +The offset in bytes of a matched pattern is +displayed in front of the respective matched line. +.It Fl C Ns Op Ar num , Fl Fl context Ns = Ns Ar num +Print +.Ar num +lines of leading and trailing context surrounding each match. +The default is 2 and is equivalent to +.Fl A +.Ar 2 +.Fl B +.Ar 2 . +Note: +no whitespace may be given between the option and its argument. +.It Fl c , Fl Fl count +Only a count of selected lines is written to standard output. +.It Fl Fl colour Ns = Ns Op Ar when , Fl Fl color Ns = Ns Op Ar when +Mark up the matching text with the expression stored in +.Ev GREP_COLOR +environment variable. +The possible values of when can be `never', `always' or `auto'. +.It Fl D Ar action , Fl Fl devices Ns = Ns Ar action +Specify the demanded action for devices, FIFOs and sockets. +The default action is `read', which means, that they are read +as if they were normal files. +If the action is set to `skip', devices will be silently skipped. +.It Fl d Ar action , Fl Fl directories Ns = Ns Ar action +Specify the demanded action for directories. +It is `read' by default, which means that the directories +are read in the same manner as normal files. +Other possible values are `skip' to silently ignore the +directories, and `recurse' to read them recursively, which +has the same effect as the +.Fl R +and +.Fl r +option. +.It Fl E , Fl Fl extended-regexp +Interpret +.Ar pattern +as an extended regular expression +(i.e. force +.Nm grep +to behave as +.Nm egrep ) . +.It Fl e Ar pattern , Fl Fl regexp Ns = Ns Ar pattern +Specify a pattern used during the search of the input: +an input line is selected if it matches any of the specified patterns. +This option is most useful when multiple +.Fl e +options are used to specify multiple patterns, +or when a pattern begins with a dash +.Pq Sq - . +.It Fl Fl exclude +If specified, it excludes files matching the given +filename pattern from the search. +Note that +.Fl Fl exclude +patterns take priority over +.Fl Fl include +patterns, and if no +.Fl Fl include +pattern is specified, all files are searched that are +not excluded. +Patterns are matched to the full path specified, +not only to the filename component. +.It Fl Fl exclude-dir +If +.Fl R +is specified, it excludes directories matching the +given filename pattern from the search. +Note that +.Fl Fl exclude-dir +patterns take priority over +.Fl Fl include-dir +patterns, and if no +.Fl Fl include-dir +pattern is specified, all directories are searched that are +not excluded. +.It Fl F , Fl Fl fixed-strings +Interpret +.Ar pattern +as a set of fixed strings +(i.e. force +.Nm grep +to behave as +.Nm fgrep ) . +.It Fl f Ar file , Fl Fl file Ns = Ns Ar file +Read one or more newline separated patterns from +.Ar file . +Empty pattern lines match every input line. +Newlines are not considered part of a pattern. +If +.Ar file +is empty, nothing is matched. +.It Fl G , Fl Fl basic-regexp +Interpret +.Ar pattern +as a basic regular expression +(i.e. force +.Nm grep +to behave as traditional +.Nm grep ) . +.It Fl H +Always print filename headers with output lines. +.It Fl h , Fl Fl no-filename +Never print filename headers +.Pq i.e. filenames +with output lines. +.It Fl Fl help +Print a brief help message. +.It Fl I +Ignore binary files. +This option is equivalent to +.Fl Fl binary-file Ns = Ns Ar without-match +option. +.It Fl i , Fl Fl ignore-case +Perform case insensitive matching. +By default, +.Nm grep +is case sensitive. +.It Fl Fl include +If specified, only files matching the +given filename pattern are searched. +Note that +.Fl Fl exclude +patterns take priority over +.Fl Fl include +patterns. +Patterns are matched to the full path specified, +not only to the filename component. +.It Fl Fl include-dir +If +.Fl R +is specified, only directories matching the +given filename pattern are searched. +Note that +.Fl Fl exclude-dir +patterns take priority over +.Fl Fl include-dir +patterns. +.It Fl J, Fl Fl bz2decompress +Decompress the +.Xr bzip2 1 +compressed file before looking for the text. +.It Fl L , Fl Fl files-without-match +Only the names of files not containing selected lines are written to +standard output. +Pathnames are listed once per file searched. +If the standard input is searched, the string +.Dq (standard input) +is written. +.It Fl l , Fl Fl files-with-matches +Only the names of files containing selected lines are written to +standard output. +.Nm grep +will only search a file until a match has been found, +making searches potentially less expensive. +Pathnames are listed once per file searched. +If the standard input is searched, the string +.Dq (standard input) +is written. +.It Fl Fl mmap +Use +.Xr mmap 2 +instead of +.Xr read 2 +to read input, which can result in better performance under some +circumstances but can cause undefined behaviour. +.It Fl m Ar num, Fl Fl max-count Ns = Ns Ar num +Stop reading the file after +.Ar num +matches. +.It Fl n , Fl Fl line-number +Each output line is preceded by its relative line number in the file, +starting at line 1. +The line number counter is reset for each file processed. +This option is ignored if +.Fl c , +.Fl L , +.Fl l , +or +.Fl q +is +specified. +.It Fl O +If +.Fl R +is specified, follow symbolic links only if they were explicitly listed +on the command line. +The default is not to follow symbolic links. +.It Fl o, Fl Fl only-matching +Prints only the matching part of the lines. +.It Fl p +If +.Fl R +is specified, no symbolic links are followed. +This is the default. +.It Fl q , Fl Fl quiet , Fl Fl silent +Quiet mode: +suppress normal output. +.Nm grep +will only search a file until a match has been found, +making searches potentially less expensive. +.It Fl R , Fl r , Fl Fl recursive +Recursively search subdirectories listed. +.It Fl S +If +.Fl R +is specified, all symbolic links are followed. +The default is not to follow symbolic links. +.It Fl s , Fl Fl no-messages +Silent mode. +Nonexistent and unreadable files are ignored +(i.e. their error messages are suppressed). +.It Fl U , Fl Fl binary +Search binary files, but do not attempt to print them. +.It Fl V , Fl Fl version +Display version information and exit. +.It Fl v , Fl Fl invert-match +Selected lines are those +.Em not +matching any of the specified patterns. +.It Fl w , Fl Fl word-regexp +The expression is searched for as a word (as if surrounded by +.Sq [[:<:]] +and +.Sq [[:>:]] ; +see +.Xr re_format 7 ) . +.It Fl x , Fl Fl line-regexp +Only input lines selected against an entire fixed string or regular +expression are considered to be matching lines. +.It Fl y +Equivalent to +.Fl i . +Obsoleted. +.It Fl Z , Fl Fl null +Prints a zero-byte after the file name. +.It Fl z , Fl Fl null-data +Use the zero byte (ASCII NUL) as line separator. +.It Fl Fl binary-files Ns = Ns Ar value +Controls searching and printing of binary files. +Options are +.Ar binary , +the default: search binary files but do not print them; +.Ar without-match : +do not search binary files; +and +.Ar text : +treat all files as text. +.It Fl Fl decompress +Detect input files compressed with +.Xr bzip2 1 +or +.Xr gzip 1 +and decompress them dynamically. +This makes +.Nm grep +behave like +.Nm zgrep . +.It Fl Fl line-buffered +Force output to be line buffered. +By default, output is line buffered when standard output is a terminal +and block buffered otherwise. +.Pp +.El +If no file arguments are specified, the standard input is used. +.Sh EXIT STATUS +The +.Nm grep +utility exits with one of the following values: +.Pp +.Bl -tag -width flag -compact +.It Li 0 +One or

'patricia' myfile +.Pp +To find all occurrences of the pattern +.Ql .Pp +at the beginning of a line: +.Pp +.Dl $ grep '^\e.Pp' myfile +.Pp +The apostrophes ensure the entire expression is evaluated by +.Nm grep +instead of by the user's shell. +The caret +.Ql ^ +matches the null string at the beginning of a line, +and the +.Ql \e +escapes the +.Ql \&. , +which would otherwise match any character.
