You didn't say what your environment is, so I'll assume a free Unix (BSD
or Linux).
% man grep
SYNOPSIS
grep [-[AB] num] [-HRPS] [-CEFGLVabchilnqsvwx] [-e expr]
[-f file] files...
...
-num Matches will be printed with num lines of leading
and trailing context. However, grep will never
print any given line more than once.
-A num Print num lines of trailing context after matching
lines.
-B num Print num lines of leading context before matching
lines.
-C Equivalent to -2.
Options appear to be present in FreeBSD, NetBSD, and Linux versions of
grep.
