According to the grep manpage:
All variants of grep understand the following options:
-A NUM, --after-context=NUM
Print NUM lines of trailing context after matching
lines.
-B NUM, --before-context=NUM
Print NUM lines of leading context before matching
lines.
-C [NUM], --context[=NUM]
Print NUM lines (default 2) of output context.
-NUM Same as --context=NUM lines of leading and trailing
context. However, grep will never print any given
line more than once.
