Grep uses regular expressions, not wildcards.

In a regular expression, * stands for 0 or more of the preceding character; a dot is matched by any character.

       "network"
	   The schema for the XML format used by virtual network configuration

       "capability"

EXIT STATUS

       Upon successful validation, an exit status of 0 will be set. Upon failure a non-zero status will be set.
