Binary package “pcregrep” in ubuntu focal

  1. Focal (20.04)
  2. pcregrep

grep utility that uses perl 5 compatible regexes.

 Perl-style regexps have many useful features that the standard POSIX ones
 don't; this is basically the same as grep but with the different
 regexp syntax.
 .
 The other reason for the existence of pcregrep is that its source code is an
 example of programming with libpcre.
