No, it says that of any binary file in which it finds a match. You
don't want it to print out the "line" in the binary file where it found
the match because the "line" could be thousands of characters long.
>From the grep man page:
-I Process a binary file as if it did not contain matching data;
this is equivalent to the --binary-files=without-match option.
