-U, --binary Treat the file(s) as binary. By default, under MS-DOS and MS-Windows, grep guesses the file type by looking at the contents of the first 32KB read from the file. If grep decides the file is a text file, it strips the CR characters from the original file contents (t...
Starting with Grep 2.21, binary files are treated differently: When searching binary data, grep now may treat non-text bytes as line terminators. This can boost performance significantly. So what happens now is that with binary data, all non-text bytes (including newlines) are treated as line...
Treat the file(s) as binary. By default, under MS-DOS and MS-Windows, 'grep' guesses the file type by looking at the contents of the first 32kB read from the file. If 'grep' decides the file is a text file, it strips the 'CR' characters from the original file contents (to make...
If TYPE is text, grep processes a binary file as if it were text; this is equivalent to the -a option. When type is binary, grep may treat non-text bytes as line terminators even without the -z option. This means choosing binary versus text can affect whether a pattern matches a fi...
were text; this is equivalent to the -a option. When processing binary data, grep may treat non-text bytes as line terminators; for example, the pattern '.' (period) might not match a null byte, as the null byte might be treated as a line terminator. Warning: grep --binary-files=te...
-F, --fixed-strings Treat the pattern as a literal string instead of a regular expression. -i, --ignore-case Searches case insensitively. -L, --follow Follow symbolic links while traversing directories. -P, --pcre2 When this flag is present, rg will use the PCRE2 regex engine instead...

However, pcre2grep guarantees to have up to 8K of following text available for context output. −a, −−text Treat binary files as text. This is equivalent to −−binary−files=text. −B number, −−before−context=number Output number lines of context before each matching ...
