[illumos-Developer] webrev: 650 grep support for -q would be useful

[Gordon Ross]

I suspect grep may be somewhat performance-sensitive.
Also, is our xpg4 grep up-to-date with standards?

Have you looked into the performance and compliance of:
(a) current grep?  (b) xpg4/bin/grep?
(c) others? i.e. FreeBSD grep?

Thanks,
Gordon
