-I Process a binary file as if it did not contain matching data; this is equivalent to the --binary-files=without-match option. Sure, thats supposed to tell me it will shut that #)^(&^$ noise off? I've been reading english for about 79 years now. That my friend is Swahili, and I don't make a milligram of sense out of THAT. Sure, it looks like english, even reads in common popular english words, but What the hell does it mean? It doesn't say a thing about turning off the unwanted noise.
