Overview
Search for PATTERN in each FILE or standard input. Pattern is, by default, a Xerox regular expression (XRE). Example: hfst-grep 'h e l l o % w o r l d' menu.h menu.c
Common options:
-
-h, --help -
Print help message
-
-V, --version -
Print version info
-
-v, --verbose -
Print verbosely while processing
-
-q, --quiet -
Only print fatal erros and requested output
-
-s, --silent -
Alias of
--quiet
-
-9, --format=TYPE -
compile expressions to TYPE automata
Regexp selection and interpretation:

PATTERN is a Xerox regulare expression
-
-e, --regexp=PATTERN -
use PATTERN for matching
-
-f, --file=FILE -
obtain PATTERN from FILE
-
-I, --ignore-case -
ignore case distinctions
-
-w, --word-regexp -
force PATTERN to match only whole words
-
-x, --line-regexp -
force PATTERN to match only whole lines
-
-z, --null-data -
a data line ends in 0 byte, not newline
Miscellaneous options:
-
--no-messages -
suppress error messages
-
--invert-match -
select non-matching lines
Output control:
-
-m, --max-count=NUM -
stop after NUM matches\n
-b,--byte-offsetprint the byte offset with output lines
-
-n, --line-number -
print line number with output lines
-
--line-buffered -
flush output on every line
-
-H, --with-filename -
print the filename for each match
-
-h, --no-filename -
suppress the prefixing filename on output
-
--label=LABEL -
print LABEL as filename for standard input
-
-o, --only-matching -
show only the part of a line matching PATTERN
-
--binary-files=TYPE -
assume that binary files are TYPE; TYPE is `binary', `text', or `without-match'
-
-a, --text -
equivalent to
--binary-files=text
-
-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, -r, --recursive -
equivalent to
--directories=recurse
-
--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
Context control:
-
-B, --before-context=NUM -
print NUM lines of leading context
-
-A, --after-context=NUM -
print NUM lines of trailing context
-
-C, --context=NUM -
print NUM lines of output context
--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)
-
-u, --unix-byte-offsets -
report offsets as if CRs were not there (MSDOS)
