The input files can be in Exim log format or syslog format.
If a matching log line is not associated with a specific message, it is
included in &'exigrep'&'s output without any additional lines. The usage is:
+.new
.display
-&`exigrep [-t<`&&'n'&&`>] [-I] [-l] [-v] <`&&'pattern'&&`> [<`&&'log file'&&`>] ...`&
+&`exigrep [-t<`&&'n'&&`>] [-I] [-l] [-M] [-v] <`&&'pattern'&&`> [<`&&'log file'&&`>] ...`&
.endd
+.wen
If no log file names are given on the command line, the standard input is read.
The &%-t%& argument specifies a number of seconds. It adds an additional
The &%-v%& option inverts the matching condition. That is, a line is selected
if it does &'not'& match the pattern.
+.new
+The &%-M%& options means &"related messages"&. &'exigrep'& will show messages
+that are generated as a result/response to a message that &'exigrep'& matched
+normally.
+
+Example of &%-M%&:
+user_a sends a message to user_b, which generates a bounce back to user_b. If
+&'exigrep'& is used to search for &"user_a"&, only the first message will be
+displayed. But if &'exigrep'& is used to search for &"user_b"&, the first and
+the second (bounce) message will be displayed. Using &%-M%& with &'exigrep'&
+when searching for &"user_a"& will show both messages since the bounce is
+&"related"& to or a &"result"& of the first message that was found by the
+search term.
+.wen

If the location of a &'zcat'& command is known from the definition of
ZCAT_COMMAND in &_Local/Makefile_&, &'exigrep'& automatically passes any file
whose name ends in COMPRESS_SUFFIX through &'zcat'& as it searches it.
