I do not have a copy of POSIX, but I do have Unix98 which is a superset of POSIX. Right now, excluding bugs, it is Unix 98 and therefore POSIX compliant except for -e. -e should permit multiple patterns and it never occured to me that anyone would want to do this. When used with -F, multiple patterns are accepted. > I use grep heavily in day to day administration tasks so I look > forward to giving this a try.
