Isn't fgrep -F redundant? As I understand it fgrep = grep -F
You have the wrong end of the stick. ;-)
Don't think so, the -F is redundant.
Try grep -F then fgrep and then fgrep -F on the same file.
As per Grep 3.8 release notes
(https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/info-gnu/2022-09/msg00001.html):
"The egrep and fgrep commands, which have been deprecated since release 2.5.3
(2007), now warn that they are obsolescent and should be replaced by grep -E and grep
-F."
