@ Page 495 Line 19060,19061-19063 Section grep EXAMPLES Editorial [Sun-dwc-1]
Problem:
Defect code : 1. Error
The examples using grep's -F option do not match the normative
description of the -F option. (The normative text matches historical
practice; the examples do not.) The -F option looks for fixed strings
anywhere on a line not regular expressions with alternation as shown in
the example on P495, L19060 and does not perform alternation as
suggested on P495, L19063.
Action:
To get the effect indicated on P495, L19058, change:
grep -F 'abc|def'
on P495, L19060 to:
grep -F 'abc
def'
To get the effect indicated on P495, L19061, change:
grep -F -x 'abc|def'
on P495, L19063 to:
grep -F -x 'abc
def'
