On looking into this more today, O_NOATIME seems to be just a best-effort thing
as some GNU/Linux filesystems ignore it, so grep should just join th
Another argument in favor of adding O_NOATIME
support to a limited set of utilities (just
'grep' IMO) is that recent 'ext4' file system

option is used and O_NOATIME == 0.
I'm of two minds about thi
Wrote a quick (but clean) patch
to have O_NOATIME applied on file opens.
I find this handy for bulk find/grep when
I'd prefer not to update atime.
