Description Laust Jespersen 2006-07-06 08:20:15 UTC

grep -P is supposed be grep -P "Perl Reg. Exp." 
however grep says: 
grep: The -P option is not supported

Fix: 

remove mention of -P from man page (or alternately fix grep)
How-To-Repeat: try grep -P perlregexp <file>

The -P option has been removed from the manual page.  It seems 
easier and better to just remove it from there.  Thanks!

At first I removed the option, then, to make life easier 
for the next importer of grep, I re-added the option and 
just noted in both CURRENT and RELENG_6 that this option 
is not supported on FreeBSD.  Thanks!
