usually i use grep to search long man pages for certain options rather than going through the whole manual..however when i need to view the part related to certain option, grep interprets that option as its own which causes unexpected behaviour or displaying available options for grep..for instance i need to check what -r exactly does in userdel as in
now grep modifies its behaviour accordingly, but i need it to search for -r in the man page instead..Code:man userdel | grep -r
ddnt really helpCode:man grep | grep exact
any suggestions ??
