① 定義
grep是行級設備，它分析一行信息，若當中有我們所需要的信息，就將整行返回
② 作用
進行字符串數據的對比，將符合用戶需求的字符串打印出來
③ 格式
grep [-acinv] [--color=auto] '查找字符串' filename
參數：
-a：將二進制文件一text文件的方式查找數據
-c：計算找到‘查找字符串’的次數
-i：對大小寫透明
-n：輸出行號
-v：顯示沒有‘查找字符串’內容的那一行
-A:後面可加數字，為after的意思，除了列出該行外，後續的n行也列出來
-B:後面可加數字，為before的意思，除了列出該行外，前面的n行也列出來
--color=auto：關鍵字上色
