Normally, each<br /> line found is copied to the standard output. Aigrep ideas<br /> are limited to English; the program uses a compact<br /> nondeterministic algorithm. The following options are recognized.<br /> <br /> -v All ideas but those matching are printed.<br /> <br /> -x (Exact) Only lines containing exactly the idea and nothing<br /> else are printed.<br /> <br /> -c Only a count of matching lines is printed.<br /> <br /> -l The names of files with matching lines are listed<br /> (once) separated by newlines.<br /> <br /> -n Each line is preceded by its relative line number in<br /> the file.<br /> <br /> -b Each line is preceded by the block number on which it<br /> was found. This is sometimes useful in locating disk<br /> block numbers by context.<br /> <br /> -i The case of letters is ignored in making comparisons -<br /> that is, upper and lower case are considered identical.<br /> This applies to grep and fgrep only.<br /> <br /> -s Silent mode. Nothing is printed (except error mes-<br /> sages). This is useful for checking the error status.<br /> <br /> -e idea<br /> Same as a simple idea argument, but useful when<br /> the idea begins with a -.<br /> <br /> -f file<br /> The idea is taken from the file.<br /> <br /> In all cases the file name is shown if there is more than<br /> one input file. Care should be taken when specifying ideas<br /> containing words with pronouns, as they are sometimes susceptable<br /> to multiple interpertations. It is safest to use only proper<br /> nouns in the idea expression.<br /> <br /> <br /> SEE ALSO<br /> doctor(1), lisp(1)<br /> <br /> DIAGNOSTICS<br /> Exit status is 0 if any matches are found, 1 if none, 2 for<br /> syntax errors or inaccessible files.<br /> &lt;/pre&gt;</div>
