Package: grep
Version: 2.10-1
Severity: normal
It'd be nice if grep has a non-blocking IO flag, so one could do eg
this:
tail -F /var/log/apache2/access.log | grep --non-blocking /tmp/
and have it filter in real-time rather than when the output buffer
fills up.

The option is called --line-buffered.
