 Busybox `grep' does not support the `-F' or `-E' switches.  Can you
 use just straight `grep'?

% ln busybox grep
karlheg@bittersweet:/usr/local/src/cvs.debian.org/debian-boot/boot-floppies/utilities/busybox
% ./grep 
BusyBox v0.42 (20000219-1949) multi-call binary -- GPL2

Usage: grep [OPTIONS]... PATTERN [FILE]...

Search for PATTERN in each FILE or standard input.

OPTIONS:
	-h	suppress the prefixing filename on output
	-i	ignore case distinctions
	-n	print line number with output lines
	-q	be quiet. Returns 0 if result was found, 1 otherwise

This version of grep matches full regular expresions.

Exit Status: [0]
