There:

> {1} With grep you need at least something to search (one argument), don't you? {2} If you don't provide another argument to say "where", it reads from standard input (as most unix commands).

And ‘find’ is the other way around.

I just don't see any reason to not to use cat. It's not like grep will use fseek() to speed anything up, if I call it with file URI instead.
