https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D237873 Bug ID: 237873 Summary: Inconsistent behavior between the program and its man page bsdgrep(1) Product: Base System Version: CURRENT Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Only Me Priority: --- Component: bin Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org Reporter: msl0000023508@gmail.com The man page bsdgrep(1) says the program won't follow any symbolic links wh= en performing recursive search (with option '-r' or '-R'). But it follows! (try it!) >From the man page: -O If -R is specified, follow symbolic links only if they were explicitly listed on the command line. The default is not to follow symbolic links. ... -p If -R is specified, no symbolic links are followed. This is t= he default. ... -R, -r, --recursive Recursively search subdirectories listed. -S If -R is specified, all symbolic links are followed. The defa= ult is not to follow symbolic links. This seems indicating that the option '-p' was the default, however the act= ual default was '-S', according to the source code (https://svnweb.freebsd.org/base/head/usr.bin/grep/grep.c?revision=3D334806= &view=3Dmarkup#l126). --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
