+<h4 class="subsection">2.1.4 Output Line Prefix Control</h4>
+
+<p>When several prefix fields are to be output,
+the order is always file name, line number, and byte offset,
+regardless of the order in which these options were specified.
+
+     <dl>
+<dt>&lsquo;<samp><span 
class="samp">-b</span></samp>&rsquo;<dt>&lsquo;<samp><span 
class="samp">--byte-offset</span></samp>&rsquo;<dd><a 
name="index-g_t_002db-52"></a><a 
name="index-g_t_002d_002dbyte_002doffset-53"></a><a 
name="index-byte-offset-54"></a>Print the 0-based byte offset within the input 
file
+before each line of output. 
+If &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">-o</span></samp>&rsquo; (&lsquo;<samp><span 
class="samp">--only-matching</span></samp>&rsquo;) is specified,
+print the offset of the matching part itself. 
+When <samp><span class="command">grep</span></samp> runs on <span 
class="sc">ms-dos</span> or <span class="sc">ms</span>-Windows,
+the printed byte offsets depend on whether
+the &lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">-u</span></samp>&rsquo; 
(&lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">--unix-byte-offsets</span></samp>&rsquo;) 
option is used;
+see below.
+
+     <br><dt>&lsquo;<samp><span 
class="samp">-H</span></samp>&rsquo;<dt>&lsquo;<samp><span 
class="samp">--with-filename</span></samp>&rsquo;<dd><a 
name="index-g_t_002dH-55"></a><a 
name="index-g_t_002d_002dwith_002dfilename-56"></a><a 
name="index-with-filename-prefix-57"></a>Print the file name for each match. 
+This is the default when there is more than one file to search.
+
+     <br><dt>&lsquo;<samp><span 
class="samp">-h</span></samp>&rsquo;<dt>&lsquo;<samp><span 
class="samp">--no-filename</span></samp>&rsquo;<dd><a 
name="index-g_t_002dh-58"></a><a 
name="index-g_t_002d_002dno_002dfilename-59"></a><a 
name="index-no-filename-prefix-60"></a>Suppress the prefixing of file names on 
output. 
+This is the default when there is only one file
+(or only standard input) to search.
+
+     <br><dt>&lsquo;<samp><span 
class="samp">--label=</span><var>LABEL</var></samp>&rsquo;<dd><a 
name="index-g_t_002d_002dlabel-61"></a><a 
name="index-changing-name-of-standard-input-62"></a>Display input actually 
coming from standard input
+as input coming from file <var>LABEL</var>. 
+This is especially useful for tools like <samp><span 
class="command">zgrep</span></samp>;
+e.g.:
+
+     <pre class="example">          gzip -cd foo.gz | grep --label=foo 
something
+</pre>
+     <br><dt>&lsquo;<samp><span 
class="samp">-n</span></samp>&rsquo;<dt>&lsquo;<samp><span 
class="samp">--line-number</span></samp>&rsquo;<dd><a 
name="index-g_t_002dn-63"></a><a 
name="index-g_t_002d_002dline_002dnumber-64"></a><a 
name="index-line-numbering-65"></a>Prefix each line of output with the 1-based 
line number within its input file. 
+(&lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">-n</span></samp>&rsquo; is specified by <span 
class="sc">posix</span>.)
+
+     <br><dt>&lsquo;<samp><span 
class="samp">-T</span></samp>&rsquo;<dt>&lsquo;<samp><span 
class="samp">--initial-tab</span></samp>&rsquo;<dd><a 
name="index-g_t_002dT-66"></a><a 
name="index-g_t_002d_002dinitial_002dtab-67"></a><a 
name="index-tab_002daligned-content-lines-68"></a>Make sure that the first 
character of actual line content lies on a tab stop,
+so that the alignment of tabs looks normal. 
+This is useful with options that prefix their output to the actual content:
+&lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">-H</span></samp>&rsquo;, &lsquo;<samp><span 
class="samp">-n</span></samp>&rsquo;, and &lsquo;<samp><span 
class="samp">-b</span></samp>&rsquo;. 
+In order to improve the probability that lines
+from a single file will all start at the same column,
+this also causes the line number and byte offset (if present)
+to be printed in a minimum-size field width.
+
+     <br><dt>&lsquo;<samp><span 
class="samp">-u</span></samp>&rsquo;<dt>&lsquo;<samp><span 
class="samp">--unix-byte-offsets</span></samp>&rsquo;<dd><a 
name="index-g_t_002du-69"></a><a 
name="index-g_t_002d_002dunix_002dbyte_002doffsets-70"></a><a 
name="index-g_t_0040sc_007bms_002ddos_007d_002f_0040sc_007bms_007d_002dWindows-byte-offsets-71"></a><a
 
name="index-byte-offsets_002c-on-_0040sc_007bms_002ddos_007d_002f_0040sc_007bms_007d_002dWindows-72"></a>Report
 Unix-style byte offsets. 
+This option causes <samp><span class="command">grep</span></samp> to report 
byte offsets
+as if the file were a Unix-style text file,
+i.e., the byte offsets ignore the <code>CR</code> characters that were 
stripped. 
+This will produce results identical
+to running <samp><span class="command">grep</span></samp> on a Unix machine. 
+This option has no effect unless the &lsquo;<samp><span 
class="samp">-b</span></samp>&rsquo; option is also used;
+it has no effect on platforms other than <span class="sc">ms-dos</span> and 
<span class="sc">ms</span>-Windows.
+
+     <br><dt>&lsquo;<samp><span 
class="samp">-Z</span></samp>&rsquo;<dt>&lsquo;<samp><span 
class="samp">--null</span></samp>&rsquo;<dd><a name="index-g_t_002dZ-73"></a><a 
name="index-g_t_002d_002dnull-74"></a><a 
name="index-zero_002dterminated-file-names-75"></a>Output a zero byte (the 
<span class="sc">ascii</span> <code>NUL</code> character)
+instead of the character that normally follows a file name. 
+For example,
+&lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">grep -lZ</span></samp>&rsquo; outputs a zero 
byte after each file name
+instead of the usual newline. 
+This option makes the output unambiguous,
+even in the presence of file names containing unusual characters like 
newlines. 
+This option can be used with commands like
+&lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">find -print0</span></samp>&rsquo;, 
&lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">perl -0</span></samp>&rsquo;, 
&lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">sort -z</span></samp>&rsquo;, and 
&lsquo;<samp><span class="samp">xargs -0</span></samp>&rsquo;
+to process arbitrary file names,
+even those that contain newline characters.
