Yes.  You get, for each match: the line number (from the beginning of the 
file), the byte offset (from the beginning of the file) of the first 
displayed character, and the context of the match.

I don't understand what you mean by that, but it seems to me that in any 
case it's much more efficient than parsing the output of grep with Elisp.

And you can easily get the byte offset of each beginning of line with 
"grep -nbo '^.'", so calculating the byte offset from the beginning of the 
line is easy.
