Hi,

egrep(1) says:

  -x, --line-regexp
     Select only those matches that exactly match the whole line.

But doesn't that mean that

egrep -x '.*/lib[^/]+\.so'

is the same as

egrep '^.*/lib[^/]+\.so$'

?

Or am I missing something?  It seems odd to have an extra command-line
option for using 'RE' instead of '^RE$'.

If so, then we should do the latter:  not all egrep's support the -x
option. =20
