Follow-up Comment #6, patch #6474 (project grep):
No. You want to expand:
$ grp XXX
into
$ GREP_OPTIONS=-r grep --exclude-dir...
Notice that this is a one-shot environment modification, for just the grep
process. Don't believe me? Try this:
$ export foo=bar
$ env | grep ^foo
$ foo=blah env | grep ^foo
$ env | grep ^foo
and notice how setting an env-var immediately before the command name is a
one-shot modification of the environment seen by just that command.
You may also want to note that the bash manual recommends shell functions
rather than aliases, as in:
grp() {
GREP_OPTIONS=-r grep --exclude-dir=... "$@"
}
