My grep is :
grep (GNU grep) 2.14
Copyright (C) 2012 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
...
when I type grep, I get an alias + I have GREP_OPTIONS set..
whence on grep gives the first entry as:
grep is aliased to `grep --color=auto'
> echo $GREP_OPTIONS
-D skip --binary-files=without-match

Ishtar:/tmp/test> grep foo *
grep: a: Is a directory
grep: b: Is a directory
grep: c: Is a directory
grep should ignore the directories and issue no message for them:
-D ACTION, --devices=ACTION
If an input file is a device, FIFO or socket, use ACTION to
process it. By default, ACTION is read, which means that
devices are read just as if they were ordinary files. If ACTION
is skip, devices are silently skipped.
GREP_OPTIONS
This variable specifies default options to be placed in front of
any explicit options. For example, if GREP_OPTIONS is
'--binary-files=without-match --directories=skip', grep behaves
as if the two options --binary-files=without-match and
--directories=skip had been specified before any explicit
options.
----
ACTION=skip, so where's the silence?
I don't remember this being this way before -- it used to work.
Seems like it stopped recently?
