Hello All,
I want to search for different things in the Linux Kernel Source tree.
I know I can use grep but HOW do I get grep to search through EVERY
Directory and FILE to find then text I am looking for INSIDE the
Source files? Exa... main();

Read the grep(1) manpage ("man 1 grep") and look for the -R (or -r
or --recursive) option. You want something like
grep -R 'main();' /usr/src/linux
