What were you trying to do?
Use "grep" with the "-s" option.
What's wrong:
% grep -s bread /usr/dict/words
beebread
bread
breadboard
breadfruit
breadroot
breadth
cornbread
What should have happened:
% grep -s bread /usr/dict/words
[No output should be produced.]
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
% where grep
/usr/ucb/grep
/bin/grep
/usr/bin/grep
[All three of these produce output with the "-s" option.]
% man grep
.....
-s run silently producing no output except error messages
