            Bug ID: 253209
           Summary: grep -v -f some-empty-file does the wrong thing
           Product: Base System
           Version: 13.0-STABLE
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Only Me
          Priority: ---
         Component: bin
          Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: freebsd@oldach.net

# >a
# echo blubb | fgrep -f a
# echo blubb | fgrep -v -f a
#

Actually -v should invert the match however if the file is empty it seems i=
t's
not doing the right thing.

For comparison (some random RedHat):

# uname -a
Linux rh.local 3.10.0-862.3.2.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue May 15 18:22:15 EDT 2018
x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
# >a
# echo blubb | fgrep -f a
# echo blubb | fgrep -v -f a
blubb
#=20

I stumbled over this while debugging a non-working script. I seem to rememb=
er
that it was working fine a while ago on stable/12.2.

I suspect related to base r352691 - maybe the removal of the invert logic n=
ear
the end of util.c.
