According to the manual: : In addition, the variant programs egrep and fgrep are the same as grep : -E and grep -F, respectively. These variants are deprecated, but are : provided for backward compatibility. Is there any plan to remove support for fgrep and egrep in the predictible future? If yes, is there any timeline set for that action? /lcd From debbugs-submit-bounces@debbugs.gnu.org Sat Jul 18 19:54:39 2015 Received: (at 21088) by debbugs.gnu.org; 18 Jul 2015 23:54:39 +0000 Received: from localhost ([127.0.0.1]:53406 helo=debbugs.gnu.org) by debbugs.gnu.org with esmtp (Exim 4.80) (envelope-from ) id 1ZGbwF-0001VT-7U for submit@debbugs.gnu.org; Sat, 18 Jul 2015 19:54:39 -0400 Received: from zimbra.cs.ucla.edu ([131.179.128.68]:49799) by debbugs.gnu.org with esmtp (Exim 4.80) (envelope-from ) id 1ZGbwC-0001VF-Pb for 21088@debbugs.gnu.org; Sat, 18 Jul 2015 19:54:37 -0400 Received: from localhost (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by zimbra.cs.ucla.edu (Postfix) with ESMTP id 8727A1601B0; Sat, 18 Jul 2015 16:54:30 -0700 (PDT) Received: from zimbra.cs.ucla.edu ([127.0.0.1]) by localhost (zimbra.cs.ucla.edu [127.0.0.1]) (amavisd-new, port 10032) with ESMTP id VPG36UmfFbDo; Sat, 18 Jul 2015 16:54:29 -0700 (PDT) Received: from localhost (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by zimbra.cs.ucla.edu (Postfix) with ESMTP id DE734160999; Sat, 18 Jul 2015 16:54:29 -0700 (PDT) X-Virus-Scanned: amavisd-new at zimbra.cs.ucla.edu Received: from zimbra.cs.ucla.edu ([127.0.0.1]) by localhost (zimbra.cs.ucla.edu [127.0.0.1]) (amavisd-new, port 10026) with ESMTP id 8JyF2CMb6Aqa; Sat, 18 Jul 2015 16:54:29 -0700 (PDT) Received: from [192.168.1.9] (pool-100-32-155-148.lsanca.fios.verizon.net [100.32.155.148]) by zimbra.cs.ucla.edu (Postfix) with ESMTPSA id BC7891601B0; Sat, 18 Jul 2015 16:54:29 -0700 (PDT) Message-ID: <55AAE735.8020703@cs.ucla.edu> Date: Sat, 18 Jul 2015 16:54:29 -0700 From: Paul Eggert Organization: UCLA Computer Science Department User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:31.0) Gecko/20100101 Thunderbird/31.7.0 MIME-Version: 1.0 To: LCD 47 , 21088@debbugs.gnu.org Subject: Re: bug#21088: Question about fgrep and egrep References: <20150718064737.GA13971@lcd047.linkpc.net> In-Reply-To: <20150718064737.GA13971@lcd047.linkpc.net> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Spam-Score: -1.2 (-) X-Debbugs-Envelope-To: 21088 X-BeenThere: debbugs-submit@debbugs.gnu.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.15 Precedence: list List-Id: List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , Errors-To: debbugs-submit-bounces@debbugs.gnu.org Sender: "Debbugs-submit" X-Spam-Score: -1.2 (-) LCD 47 wrote: > Is there any plan to remove support for fgrep and egrep in the > predictible future? If yes, is there any timeline set for that action? No. That being said, there's no rush to remove it. If and when it's removed I assume the removal will be an install-time option.
