48 48 .SH DESCRIPTION
49 49 .sp
50 50 .LP
51 51 The \fBegrep\fR (\fIexpression grep\fR) utility searches files for a pattern of
52 52 characters and prints all lines that contain that pattern. \fBegrep\fR uses
53 53 full regular expressions (expressions that have string values that use the full
54 54 set of alphanumeric and special characters) to match the patterns. It uses a
55 55 fast deterministic algorithm that sometimes needs exponential space.
56 56 .sp
57 57 .LP
58 58 If no files are specified, \fBegrep\fR assumes standard input. Normally, each
59 59 line found is copied to the standard output. The file name is printed before
60 60 each line found if there is more than one input file.
61 61 .SS "/usr/bin/egrep"
62 62 .sp
63 63 .LP
64 64 The \fB/usr/bin/egrep\fR utility accepts full regular expressions as described
65 65 on the \fBregexp\fR(5) manual page, except for \fB\e(\fR and \fB\e)\fR,
66 66 \fB\e(\fR and \fB\e)\fR, \fB\e{\fR and \fB\e}\fR, \fB\e<\fR and \fB\e>\fR, and
67 67 \fB\en\fR, and with the addition of:
68 68 .RS +4
69 69 .TP
70 70 1.
71 71 A full regular expression followed by \fB+\fR that matches one or more
72 72 occurrences of the full regular expression.
73 73 .RE
74 74 .RS +4
75 75 .TP
76 76 2.
77 77 A full regular expression followed by \fB?\fR that matches 0 or 1
78 78 occurrences of the full regular expression.
79 79 .RE
80 80 .RS +4
81 81 .TP
82 82 3.
83 83 Full regular expressions separated by | or by a \fBNEWLINE\fR that match
84 84 strings that are matched by any of the expressions.
85 85 .RE
86 86 .RS +4
87 87 .TP
88 88 4.
89 89 A full regular expression that can be enclosed in parentheses \fB()\fRfor
90 90 grouping.
91 91 .RE
92 92 .sp
93 93 .LP
94 94 Be careful using the characters \fB$\fR, \fB*\fR, \fB[\fR, \fB^\fR, |, \fB(\fR,
95 95 \fB)\fR, and \fB\e\fR in \fIfull regular expression\fR, because they are also
96 96 meaningful to the shell. It is safest to enclose the entire \fIfull regular
97 97 expression\fR in single quotes (\fBa\'\fR\fBa\'\fR).
98 98 .sp
99 99 .LP
100 100 The order of precedence of operators is \fB[\|]\fR, then \fB*\|?\|+\fR, then
101 101 concatenation, then | and NEWLINE.
102 102 .SS "/usr/xpg4/bin/egrep"
103 103 .sp
104 104 .LP
105 105 The \fB/usr/xpg4/bin/egrep\fR utility uses the regular expressions described in
106 106 the \fBEXTENDED REGULAR EXPRESSIONS\fR section of the \fBregex\fR(5) manual
107 107 page.
