What were you trying to do?
I was trying to grep for the occurance of the character "*"
in the output of a finger command.
What's wrong:
I got a segmentation violation error
What should have happened:
The lines with "*" in them should have been sent to standard out
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
Example:
E40-008-8% f noc@noc | grep "*"
Segmentation violation
and
E40-008-8% f noc@noc | grep \*
Segmentation violation
