## NAME

grepseq - \<optional description of the program\>

## SYNOPSIS

**grepseq** \[*options*\] *\<pattern\> \<files* ...*\>*

## OPTIONS

- **-h**, **--help**

  show this help message and exit

- **-c**, **--count**

  Suppress normal output; instead print a count of matching lines for each input file. With the **-v**, **--invert-match** option (see below), count non-matching lines.

  Print the filename for each match.

- **-i**, **--ignore-case**

  Ignore case distinctions in both the pattern and input files.

- **-m** NUM, **--max-count**=*NUM*

  Stop reading a file after NUM matching lines. When the **-c** or **--count** option is also used, grepseq does not output a count greater than NUM. When the **-v** or **--invert-match** option is also used, grep stops after outputting NUM non-matching lines.

- **-N**, **--names-only**

  Search only sequence names. Cannot be used with **-S**.

- **-S**, **--sequences-only**

  Search only sequences. Cannot be used with **-N**.

- **-v**, **--invert-match**

  Invert the sense of matching, to select non-matching lines.
