42 .sp
43 .LP
44 The \fBgrep\fR utility searches text files for a pattern and prints all lines
45 that contain that pattern. It uses a compact non-deterministic algorithm.
46 .sp
47 .LP
48 Be careful using the characters \fB$\fR, \fB*\fR, \fB[\fR, \fB^\fR, \fB|\fR,
49 \fB(\fR, \fB)\fR, and \fB\e\fR in the \fIpattern_list\fR because they are also
50 meaningful to the shell. It is safest to enclose the entire \fIpattern_list\fR
51 in single quotes \fBa\'\fR\&...\fBa\'\fR\&.
52 .sp
53 .LP
54 If no files are specified, \fBgrep\fR assumes standard input. Normally, each
55 line found is copied to standard output. The file name is printed before each
56 line found if there is more than one input file.

122 characters. Does not repeat the names of files when the pattern is found more
