Hi,
The grep manual page (dated 2002/01/22) lists --line-buffering as an
option. The grep command recognises --line-buffered instead. (The
grammar in the description is bad too :-)
See man grep vs grep --help.
Apparently this has been fixed in the FreeBSD man page as of October
2004. See http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-doc/2004-October/
006024.html
This has been reported to [EMAIL PROTECTED] before but no action
is recorded in that thread. See http://sources.redhat.com/ml/bug-gnu-
utils/2003-03/msg00215.html
http://directory.fsf.org/grep.html lists grep 2.5.1a as the latest
version. It does not have the bug fix.
You could use the same patch as FreeBSD - see http://
lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-doc/2004-October/006024.html
