Now, is this a bug in grep, that should not look inside a named pipe, or is it my fault?
No, its your fault. Grep can and _should_ read from whatever input you give it.
Ok, but the man page does not say how to tell grep not to look inside not normal files :-)
-D ACTION, --devices=ACTION If an input file is a device, FIFO or socket, use ACTION to process it. By default, ACTION is read, which means that devices are read just as if they were ordinary files. If ACTION is skip, devices are silently skipped. What's that then? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
