--- Comment #5 from WHR <msl0000023508@gmail.com> ---
> It seems that the -p option does not work in bsdgrep

By digging futher into the source code, it appears that bsdgrep(1) simply
translates its 'LINK_SKIP' for '-p' into 'FTS_PHYSICAL' flag for fts_open(3=
);
after that it didn't have any special handling for symbolic links. Thus for=
 any
symbolic link found by fts_read(3) will be followed in function 'procfile'.

It should have cases for 'FTS_SL' and 'FTS_SLNONE' to filter out symbolic l=
inks
in case of 'LINK_SKIP', in this 'switch':
