Most characters, including all letters and digits, -are regular expressions that match themselves. Any metacharacter with -special meaning may be quoted by preceding it with a backslash. -.PP -A list of characters enclosed by -.B [ -and -.B ] -matches any single -character in that list; if the first character of the list -is the caret -.B ^ -then it matches any character -.I not -in the list. -For example, the regular expression -.B [0123456789] -matches any single digit. A range of characters -may be specified by giving the first and last characters, separated -by a hyphen. -Finally, certain named classes of characters are predefined. -Their names are self explanatory, and they are -.BR [:alnum:] , -.BR [:alpha:] , -.BR [:cntrl:] , -.BR [:digit:] , -.BR [:graph:] , -.BR [:lower:] , -.BR [:print:] , -.BR [:punct:] , -.BR [:space:] , -.BR [:upper:] , -and -.BR [:xdigit:]. -For example, -.B [[:alnum:]] -means -.BR [0-9A-Za-z] , -except the latter form depends upon the \s-1POSIX\s0 locale and the -\s-1ASCII\s0 character encoding, whereas the former is independent -of locale and character set. -(Note that the brackets in these class names are part of the symbolic -names, and must be included in addition to the brackets delimiting -the bracket list.) Most metacharacters lose their special meaning -inside lists. To include a literal -.B ] -place it first in the list. Similarly, to include a literal -.B ^ -place it anywhere but first. Finally, to include a literal -.B \- -place it last. -.PP -The period -.B . -matches any single character. -The symbol -.B \ew -is a synonym for -.B [[:alnum:]] -and -.B \eW -is a synonym for -.BR [^[:alnum]] . -.PP -The caret -.B ^ -and the dollar sign -.B $ -are metacharacters that respectively match the empty string at the -beginning and end of a line. -The symbols -.B \e< -and -.B \e> -respectively match the empty string at the beginning and end of a word. -The symbol -.B \eb -matches the empty string at the edge of a word, -and -.B \eB -matches the empty string provided it's -.I not -at the edge of a word. -.PP -A regular expression may be followed by one of several repetition operators: -.PD 0 -.TP -.B ? -The preceding item is optional and matched at most once. -.TP -.B * -The preceding item will be matched zero or more times. -.TP -.B + -The preceding item will be matched one or more times. -.TP -.BI { n } -The preceding item is matched exactly -.I n -times. -.TP -.BI { n ,} -The preceding item is matched -.I n -or more times. -.TP -.BI { n , m } -The preceding item is matched at least -.I n -times, but not more than -.I m -times. -.PD -.PP -Two regular expressions may be concatenated; the resulting -regular expression matches any string formed by concatenating -two substrings that respectively match the concatenated -subexpressions. -.PP -Two regular expressions may be joined by the infix operator -.BR | ; -the resulting regular expression matches any string matching -either subexpression. -.PP -Repetition takes precedence over concatenation, which in turn -takes precedence over alternation. A whole subexpression may be -enclosed in parentheses to override these precedence rules. -.PP -The backreference -.BI \e n\c -\&, where -.I n -is a single digit, matches the substring -previously matched by the -.IR n th -parenthesized subexpression of the regular expression. -.PP -In basic regular expressions the metacharacters -.BR ? , -.BR + , -.BR { , -.BR | , -.BR ( , -and -.BR ) -lose their special meaning; instead use the backslashed -versions -.BR \e? , -.BR \e+ , -.BR \e{ , -.BR \e| , -.BR \e( , -and -.BR \e) . -.PP -Traditional -.B egrep -did not support the -.B { -metacharacter, and some -.B egrep -implementations support -.B \e{ -instead, so portable scripts should avoid -.B { -in -.B egrep -patterns and should use -.B [{] -to match a literal -.BR { . -.PP -\s-1GNU\s0 -.B egrep -attempts to support traditional usage by assuming that -.B { -is not special if it would be the start of an invalid interval -specification. For example, the shell command -.B "egrep '{1'" -searches for the two-character string -.B {1 -instead of reporting a syntax error in the regular expression. -\s-1POSIX.2\s0 allows this behavior as an extension, but portable scripts -should avoid it. -.SH "ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES" -.TP -.B GREP_OPTIONS -This variable specifies default options to be placed in front of any -explicit options. For example, if -.B GREP_OPTIONS -is -.BR "'\-\^\-binary-files=without-match \-\^\-directories=skip'" , -.B grep -behaves as if the two options -.B \-\^\-binary-files=without-match -and -.B \-\^\-directories=skip -had been specified before any explicit options. -Option specifications are separated by whitespace. -A backslash escapes the next character, -so it can be used to specify an option containing whitespace or a backslash. -.TP -\fBLC_ALL\fP, \fBLC_MESSAGES\fP, \fBLANG\fP -These variables specify the -.B LC_MESSAGES -locale, which determines the language that -.B grep -uses for messages. -The locale is determined by the first of these variables that is set. -American English is used if none of these environment variables are set, -or if the message catalog is not installed, or if -.B grep -was not compiled with national language support (\s-1NLS\s0). -.TP -\fBLC_ALL\fP, \fBLC_CTYPE\fP, \fBLANG\fP -These variables specify the -.B LC_CTYPE -locale, which determines the type of characters, e.g., which -characters are whitespace. -The locale is determined by the first of these variables that is set. -The \s-1POSIX\s0 locale is used if none of these environment variables -are set, or if the locale catalog is not installed, or if -.B grep -was not compiled with national language support (\s-1NLS\s0). -.TP -.B POSIXLY_CORRECT -If set, -.B grep -behaves as \s-1POSIX.2\s0 requires; otherwise, -.B grep -behaves more like other \s-1GNU\s0 programs. -\s-1POSIX.2\s0 requires that options that follow file names must be -treated as file names; by default, such options are permuted to the -front of the operand list and are treated as options. -Also, \s-1POSIX.2\s0 requires that unrecognized options be diagnosed as -\*(lqillegal\*(rq, but since they are not really against the law the default -is to diagnose them as \*(lqinvalid\*(rq. -.B POSIXLY_CORRECT -also disables \fB_\fP\fIN\fP\fB_GNU_nonoption_argv_flags_\fP, -described below. -.TP -\fB_\fP\fIN\fP\fB_GNU_nonoption_argv_flags_\fP -(Here -.I N -is -.BR grep 's -numeric process ID.) If the -.IR i th -character of this environment variable's value is -.BR 1 , -do not consider the -.IR i th -operand of -.B grep -to be an option, even if it appears to be one. -A shell can put this variable in the environment for each command it runs, -specifying which operands are the results of file name wildcard -expansion and therefore should not be treated as options. -This behavior is available only with the \s-1GNU\s0 C library, and only -when -.B POSIXLY_CORRECT -is not set. -.SH DIAGNOSTICS -.PP -Normally, exit status is 0 if matches were found, -and 1 if no matches were found. (The -.B \-v -option inverts the sense of the exit status.) -Exit status is 2 if there were syntax errors -in the pattern, inaccessible input files, or -other system errors. -.SH BUGS -.PP -Email bug reports to -.BR bug-gnu-utils@gnu.org . -Be sure to include the word \*(lqgrep\*(rq somewhere in the -\*(lqSubject:\*(rq field. -.PP -Large repetition counts in the -.BI { m , n } -construct may cause grep to use lots of memory. -In addition, -certain other obscure regular expressions require exponential time -and space, and may cause -.B grep -to run out of memory. -.PP -Backreferences are very slow, and may require exponential time. -.\" Work around problems with some troff -man implementations. -.br -- cgit v1.2.3
