https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D280676 Bug ID: 280676 Summary: grep default recursive behavior differs from manpage Product: Base System Version: 14.1-STABLE Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Many People Priority: --- Component: bin Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org Reporter: radoslaw.piliszek@gmail.com FreeBSD's `grep(1)` describes that `-p` is the default when using `-R`, i.e= ., that symlinks are *not* followed. However, it seems that actually `-S` is t= he default, i.e., symlinks *are* followed (when using only `-R`). Notably, the= man page is internally coherent (both `-p` and `-S` descriptions claim that `-p= ` is the default). I don't know FreeBSD's previous behavior of grep so cannot comment whether = it's the man page that is supposed to be wrong or grep's behavior but they certa= inly disagree on the matter. Bug found on Chimera Linux and verified on FreeBSD 14.1-STABLE which is the source of Chimera Linux's base utils at the moment. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
