<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2><PRE>
<EM>Grep</EM> searches one or more files (by default, <EM>stdin</EM>) and selects out all
the lines that match the pattern. All the regular expressions accepted
by <EM>ed</EM> and <EM>mined</EM> are allowed. In addition, + can be used instead of * to
mean 1 or more occurrences, ? can be used to mean 0 or 1 occurrences, and
| can be used between two regular expressions to mean either one of them.
Parentheses can be used for grouping. If a match is found, exit status 0
is returned. If no match is found, exit status 1 is returned. If an
error is detected, exit status 2 is returned.
