I don't see how (2) is any tougher to grep than (3)...? If I'm grepping, I'm usually concerned with things like variable/function names and not with punctuation, so if I were grepping for the above function signature I'd probably write: $ grep 'fstat.*fd.*statbuf' man2/* ...which would catch either of the above just fine. Am I missing something? Regards, Branden
