Maybe a bit OT, but what does the `-2` option mean ?	[reply] [d/l]

Your `grep` may not support this option, but mine does (from `man grep`): `-C [NUM], -NUM, --context[=NUM] Print NUM lines (default 2) of output context.` [download] In other words it prints some lines surrounding the match line. Very helpful when dealing with multi-line statements.	[reply] [d/l]
