sbase/grep.1
Michael Forney 22921a859f Fix various lint warnings in manuals
Fix "new sentence, new line" warnings throughout so that formatters
can produce correct spacing between sentences.

join.1
  Remove unnecessary Ns macros. These are not necessary for delimeters,
  which get special treatment.

xinstall.1
  Fix date in manual. The contents were last modified on 2016-12-03,
  so use that instead of the invalid date.

grep.1
  Fix escape sequence for `\<` and `\>`.

ed.1
  Remove spurious `\\n` escape for the null-command.

.Sh NAME
.Nm grep
.Nd search files for patterns
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.Nm
.Op Fl EFHchilnqsvx
.Op Fl e Ar pattern
.Op Fl f Ar file
.Op Ar pattern
.Op Ar file ...
.Sh DESCRIPTION
.Nm
searches the input files for lines that match the
.Ar pattern ,
a regular expression as defined in
.Xr regex 7 .
By default each matching line is printed to stdout.
If no
.Ar file
is given
.Nm
reads from stdin.
.Sh OPTIONS
.Bl -tag -width Ds
.It Fl E
Match using extended regex.
.It Fl F
Match using fixed strings.
Treat each pattern specified as a string instead of a regular
expression.
.It Fl H
Prefix each matching line with its filename in the output.
This is the default when there is more than one file specified.
.It Fl c
Print only a count of matching lines.
.It Fl e Ar pattern
Specify a pattern used during the search of the input: an input
line is selected if it matches any of the specified patterns.
This option is most useful when multiple -e options are used to
specify multiple patterns, or when a pattern begins with a dash.
.It Fl f Ar file
Read one or more patterns from the file named by the pathname file.
Patterns in file shall be terminated by a <newline>.
A null pattern can be specified by an empty line in pattern_file.
Unless the -E or -F option is also specified, each pattern shall be
treated as a BRE.
(`-').
.It Fl h
Do not prefix each line with 'filename:' prefix.
.It Fl i
Match lines case insensitively.
.It Fl l
Print only the names of files with matching lines.
.It Fl n
Prefix each matching line with its line number in the input.
.It Fl q
Print nothing, only return status.
.It Fl s
Suppress the error messages ordinarily written for nonexistent or unreadable
files.
.It Fl v
Select lines which do
.Sy not
match the pattern.
.It Fl w
The expression is searched for as a word (as if surrounded by '\\<' and '\\>').
.It Fl x
Consider only input lines that use all characters in the line excluding the
terminating <newline> to match an entire fixed string or regular expression to
be matching lines.
.El
.Sh EXIT STATUS
.Bl -tag -width Ds
.It 0
One or more lines were matched.
.It 1
No lines were matched.
.It > 1

specification.

The

flags are an extension to that specification.
