This is GNU fgrep, version 1.1. Eventually it will disappear into the
|
||
|
|
single grep program mandated by POSIX, but for now it should be a
|
||
|
|
compatible replacement for UNIX fgrep. The options are the same
|
||
|
|
as those of GNU egrep, and are a proper superset of the fgrep options
|
||
|
|
on all UNIX systems I am aware of.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I have not tried comparing this performance-wise to any of the
|
||
|
|
various other free fgreps that are floating around, but it should
|
||
|
|
never be any slower, and for demanding applications will probably
|
||
|
|
be substantially faster. For single fixed-string searches the
|
||
|
|
speed is about the same as that of GNU egrep; for multiple fixed
|
||
|
|
strings it is substantially faster.
|
||

Correspondence regarding this program should be addressed directly
|
||
|
|
to me, mike@ai.mit.edu, *not* bug-gnu-utils. Enjoy.
