  50   50  .LP
  51   51  The \fBfgrep\fR (fast \fBgrep\fR) utility searches files for a character string
  52   52  and prints all lines that contain that string. \fBfgrep\fR is different from
  53   53  \fBgrep\fR(1) and from \fBegrep\fR(1) because it searches for a string, instead
  54   54  of searching for a pattern that matches an expression. \fBfgrep\fR uses a fast
  55   55  and compact algorithm.
