[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]
Hi,

Please consider this patch to clarify the use of multiple -e and -f
options in grep. I think the current documentation is inconsistent with
grep behaviour and POSIX man page for grep.

This patch is intended to close another long-standing bug reported in
Debian: https://bugs.debian.org/356120

Cheers,

Santiago
