Details:
Hello,
Would it be possible to add a command line flag, to set grep, that it would
show the first (or the n-first) line(s) of a file (or stream) with matching
items?
eg, if you have a command wich has a table-like output, you could easily
include the header, so you know which column means what...
eg:
$ ps aux | grep --head foo
(so, --head would mean to include first line, and maybe --head5 the first
5...)
Imho this wouldnt brak any backward compatibility - or?
