grep -- > what -- > where The use of grep in its simplest form is to search for a given string of characters, such as sshd in the /etc/passwd file. sysadmin@localhost:/etc$ grep sshd passwd The grep command can be used to filter lines in a file or the output of another command based on matching a pattern. That pattern can be as simple as the exact text that you want to match or it can be much more advanced through the use of regular expressions (discussed later in this chapter).

This option will highlight the matched items in red: *sysadmin@localhost:~$ grep --color bash /etc/passwd* In some cases you don't care about the specific lines that match the pattern, but rather *how many lines match the pattern*. With the -c option, you can get a count of how many lines that match: *sysadmin@localhost:~$ grep -c bash /etc/passwd* The -n option to the grep command will display original *line numbers:* *sysadmin@localhost:~$ grep -n bash /etc/passwd* *grep -v nologin /etc/passwd -- > All lines not containing nologin in the /etc/passwd file* *grep -l linux /etc/* -- > List of files in the /etc directory containing linux* *grep -i linux /etc/* -- > Listing of lines from files in the /etc directory containing any case (capital or lower) of the character pattern linux* *grep -w linux /etc/* -- > Listing of lines from files in the /etc directory containing the word pattern linux*
