From grep(1):


   TeXinfo Documentation
       The  full  documentation  for grep is maintained as a TeXinfo 
       manual, which you can read at 
       http://www.gnu.org/software/grep/manual/.  If the
       info and grep programs are properly installed at your site, the command

	      info grep

       should give you access to the complete manual.

NOTES
       This man page is maintained only fitfully; the full documentation 
       is often more up-to-date.


Kind regards,
Andrei
