1.0 grep

grep is a program for searching a given string pattern in files. It searches the files for the pattern and prints the lines that contain strings matching the pattern. For example,

$ # grep pattern filenames ... 
$ grep 'hbox' find.c
    GtkWidget *window, *scrolled_win, *hbox, *vbox, *find;
    hbox = gtk_hbox_new (FALSE, 5);
    gtk_box_pack_start (GTK_BOX (hbox), w -entry, TRUE, TRUE, 0);
    gtk_box_pack_start (GTK_BOX (hbox), find, FALSE, TRUE, 0);
    gtk_box_pack_start (GTK_BOX (vbox), hbox, FALSE, TRUE, 0);
