Je dirais même plus : étant donné que le fichier peut être très gros,
il est sûrement plus indiqué de sortir dès qu'une occurence est
trouvée, et non pas aller jusqu'à la fin pour compter toutes les
occurences (option -c).

Extrait du man de grep :
-q, --quiet, --silent
       Quiet;  suppress  normal output.  The scanning will
       stop on the first match.  Also see the -s or  --no-
       messages option below.
[...]
-s, --no-messages
       Suppress  error  messages  about   nonexistent   or
       unreadable  files.   Portability  note:  unlike GNU
       grep, traditional grep did not conform to  POSIX.2,
       because traditional grep lacked a -q option and its
       -s option behaved like GNU grep's -q option.  Shell
       scripts intended to be portable to traditional grep
       should avoid both -q and  -s  and  should  redirect
       output to /dev/null instead.

Donc un -q me semble plus approprié dans le cas d'un grep conformant à
POSIX.2 (cas du grep GNU), ou -s pour un grep "traditionnel" ...

Le test se fait alors sur le code de sortie (stocké dans la variable
shell $?) :

Normally, exit status is 0 if matches were found, and 1 if
no  matches  were found.  (The -v option inverts the sense
of the exit status.)  Exit status is 2 if there were  syn-
tax  errors  in  the pattern, inaccessible input files, or
other system errors.

    François.
