.th FGREP I 5/31/77 .sh NAME fgrep \*- search a file for lines containing keywords .sh SYNOPSIS .bd fgrep [ .bd \*-b ] [ .bd \*-c ] [ .bd \*-e ][ .bd \*-f ] [ .bd \*-n ] [ .bd \*-v ] pattern [ file ] ... .sh DESCRIPTION .it fgrep searches the input files (standard input default) for all lines containing one or more keywords denoted by .it pattern. Normally, each containing line is copied to the standard output. The \fBbcfnv\fP flags modify the normal behavior as in .it egrep\c (I). The \fB\*-e\fP flag causes a match to occur if and only if a keyword matches an input line exactly. Without the \fB\*-f\fP flag, .it pattern can be only a single keyword. With the \fB\*-f\fP flag, .it pattern is the name of a file containing a sequence of keywords terminated by newlines. The keywords in this file then constitute the search pattern. A keyword is any string of characters except '\\0' and newline. No metacharacters are assumed. .s3 .sh "SEE ALSO" egrep(I) .sh BUGS Lines longer than 512 characters are not printed completely.
