If we change that to
For doing a recursive `grep', see the `rgrep' command. For running
`grep' in the current directory see `lgrep'.
then it would be good.
I am confused. What does lgrep really do that grep doesn't? "in the current directory" doesn't seem to be the case, specifying */* to lgrep is perfectly OK. lgrep seems to set -i (case independent) by default whereas grep doesn't. Is that the difference?
