public enum GrepOption extends Enum<GrepOption> implements Option, GrepOptions
grep command.
For most applications, it may be more convenient to use Grep.Options
instead of the option constants defined here.
-i | --ignoreCase | Match lines ignoring the case when comparing the strings, also known from Unix with its acronym 'i'. | |||

usually faster than the standard regexp version.

count non-matching lines. | |||
-l | --matchingFiles | Suppress normal output; instead print the name of each input file from which output would normally have been printed. The scanning will stop on the first match. | |||
