Subject: grep -E instead of egrep?
Date: Mon, 16 Oct 2006 12:34:10 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <85mz7wim71.fsf@lola.goethe.zz> (raw)


I saw the following change:

2006-10-15  Lennart Borgman  [...]

	* progmodes/ada-xref.el (ada-find-in-src-path): Likewise.
	Use grep -E rather than egrep.

Is there a particular reason to prefer "grep -E"?  I would have
thought that "egrep" is much more portable?
