'grep --help' incorrectly states that the --exclude option operates on directories. Here's the suggested change to the help text:
- --exclude=GLOB skip files and directories matching GLOB + --exclude=GLOB skip files matching GLOB It might also be worthwhile changing 'that match' to 'matching' in these 2 options to give consistent phrasing across the 4 include/exclude options, to make it a bit easier for the user to compare them: - --include=GLOB search only files that match GLOB (a file pattern) + --include=GLOB search only files matching GLOB (a file pattern) - --exclude-dir=GLOB skip directories that match GLOB + --exclude-dir=GLOB skip directories matching GLOB
