Discussion Board
Explanation-

In Linux, grep command is used to search a pattern in one or more files directly from the command line.

Syntax:
grep [OPTIONS] PATTERN [FILE...]

PATTERN as a mandatory argument. The OPTION and FILE arguments are non-mandatory. While the OPTION argument tells the grep command to act in a way as specified by the definition of that OPTION, the FILE argument tells the grep command about the files in which the pattern needs to be searched.
