grep all files in a directory
I am not sure if i am doing this correctly since it returns quickly. i need to grep for a keyword in all files in a directory
grep keyword /mydirectory
is that correct? I just want to know which files have a keyword in it.
i am using korn shell in solaris 5.1. There does not appear to be a -r option in this version.
grep -r "keyword" /path/pathdir
grep: illegal option -- r
Usage: grep -hblcnsviw pattern file . . .

ZGREP(1) General Commands Manual ZGREP(1)
NAME
zgrep - search possibly compressed files for a regular expression
SYNOPSIS
zgrep [ grep_options ] [ -e ] pattern filename...
DESCRIPTION
Zgrep invokes grep on compressed or gzipped files. These grep options will cause zgrep to terminate with an error code:
(-[drRzZ]|--di*|--exc*|--inc*|--rec*|--nu*). All other options specified are passed directly to grep. If no file is specified, then the
standard input is decompressed if necessary and fed to grep. Otherwise the given files are uncompressed if necessary and fed to grep.
If the GREP environment variable is set, zgrep uses it as the grep program to be invoked.
EXIT CODE
2 - An option that is not supported was specified.
