Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: coreutils
vnix$ grep -c -o fnord <<HERE
> fnord fnord fnord
> HERE
1
One could expect the result to be three, with -o and -c, not one. Some
non-GNU greps allegedly work that way. As it is, the combination of -c
-o is rather useless.
If it cannot be fixed, then perhaps a warning about the uselessness of
this combination of options should be printed.
