用法: grep [选项]… PATTERN [FILE]…
在每个 FILE 或是标准输入中查找 PATTERN。
默认的 PATTERN 是一个基本正则表达式(缩写为 BRE)。
例如: grep -i ‘hello world’ menu.h main.c
正则表达式选择与解释:
-E, –extended-regexp PATTERN 是一个可扩展的正则表达式(缩写为 ERE)
-F, –fixed-strings PATTERN 是一组由断行符分隔的定长字符串。
-G, –basic-regexp PATTERN 是一个基本正则表达式(缩写为 BRE)
-P, –perl-regexp PATTERN 是一个 Perl 正则表达式
-e, –regexp=PATTERN 用 PATTERN 来进行匹配操作
-f, –file=FILE 从 FILE 中取得 PATTERN
-i, –ignore-case 忽略大小写
-w, –word-regexp 强制 PATTERN 仅完全匹配字词
-x, –line-regexp 强制 PATTERN 仅完全匹配一行
-z, –null-data 一个 0 字节的数据行,但不是空行
Miscellaneous:
-s, –no-messages suppress error messages
-v, –invert-match select non-matching lines
-V, –version display version information and exit
--help display this help text and exit
输出控制:
-m, –max-count=NUM NUM 次匹配后停止
-b, –byte-offset 输出的同时打印字节偏移
-n, –line-number 输出的同时打印行号
--line-buffered 每行输出清空
-H, –with-filename 为每一匹配项打印文件名
-h, –no-filename 输出时不显示文件名前缀
--label=LABEL 将LABEL 作为标准输入文件名前缀
-o, –only-matching show only the part of a line matching PATTERN
-q, –quiet, –silent suppress all normal output
--binary-files=TYPE assume that binary files are TYPE;
TYPE is 'binary', 'text', or 'without-match'
-a, –text equivalent to –binary-files=text
-I equivalent to –binary-files=without-match
-d, –directories=ACTION how to handle directories;
ACTION is 'read', 'recurse', or 'skip'
-D, –devices=ACTION how to handle devices, FIFOs and sockets;
ACTION is 'read' or 'skip'
-r, –recursive like –directories=recurse
-R, –dereference-recursive
likewise, but follow all symlinks
--include=FILE_PATTERN
search only files that match FILE_PATTERN
--exclude=FILE_PATTERN
skip files and directories matching FILE_PATTERN
--exclude-from=FILE skip files matching any file pattern from FILE
--exclude-dir=PATTERN directories that match PATTERN will be skipped.
-L, –files-without-match print only names of FILEs containing no match
-l, –files-with-matches print only names of FILEs containing matches
-c, –count print only a count of matching lines per FILE
-T, –initial-tab make tabs line up (if needed)
-Z, –null print 0 byte after FILE name
文件控制:
-B, –before-context=NUM 打印以文本起始的NUM 行
-A, –after-context=NUM 打印以文本结尾的NUM 行
-C, –context=NUM 打印输出文本NUM 行
-NUM same as –context=NUM
--group-separator=SEP use SEP as a group separator
--no-group-separator use empty string as a group separator
--color[=WHEN],
--colour[=WHEN] use markers to highlight the matching strings;
WHEN is 'always', 'never', or 'auto'
-U, –binary do not strip CR characters at EOL (MSDOS/Windows)
-u, –unix-byte-offsets report offsets as if CRs were not there
(MSDOS/Windows)
‘egrep’即‘grep -E’。‘fgrep’即‘grep -F’。
直接使用‘egrep’或是‘fgrep’均已不可行了。
若FILE 为 -,将读取标准输入。不带FILE,读取当前目录,除非命令行中指定了-r 选项。
如果少于两个FILE 参数,就要默认使用-h 参数。
如果有任意行被匹配,那退出状态为 0,否则为 1;
如果有错误产生,且未指定 -q 参数,那退出状态为 2。
