# Fossil grep vs POSIX grep As of Fossil 2.7, there is a `grep` command which acts roughly like POSIX's `grep -E` over all historical versions of a single file name. This document explains the commonalities and divergences between POSIX `grep` and Fossil `grep`. ## Options Fossil `grep` supports only a small subset of the options specified for POSIX `grep`: ................................................................................ | `-v` | print each checkin ID considered, regardless of whether it matches No equivalent of other POSIX `grep` options currently exist. Note in partcicular that there is no equivalent of `grep -R`, either implicitly or explicitly. Fossil `grep` currently accepts only a single input file name. You cannot give it a list of file names, and you cannot give it a a directory name for Fossil to expand to the set of all files under that directory. Patches to remove those limitations will be thoughtfully considered. ## Regular Expression Dialect |

# Fossil grep vs POSIX grep As of Fossil 2.7, there is a `grep` command which acts roughly like POSIX's `grep -E` over all historical versions of a single file name.
