library0.2.1jsnpmunverified

A CLI grep utility for Windows, providing pattern and regex-based text search similar to Unix grep. Current stable version 0.2.1 (last updated 2016). It is a lightweight wrapper that pipes input/output streams. No longer maintained; the last release was over 8 years ago. It offers basic grep functionality for Windows users who lack native grep, but has no active development or support for modern Node.js versions.
