usr.bin/grep : grep.1 grep.c
Log message:
Delete documentation of --max-count, which is merely an alias of
the documented -m. As a rule, we only document long options when
users can't avoid them because they lack a short version.
As suggested by tedu@, as an exception, leave --context documented
because -C is awkward in so far as it takes an optional option
argument, which is fragile and error-prone and hence generally
discouraged, including by POSIX.
Two years ago, kettenis@, deraadt@, and tedu@ all agreed that this
is what should be done, and jmc@ was happy to accept the direction,
but somehow everybody forgot to commit.
