I forgot to answer this part. By example, I mean an actual grep command line and sample input that demonstrates the problem, the smaller the better: % echo elisp lisp | grep -w lisp && echo good || echo bad elisp lisp good % echo elisp lisp | grep -wq lisp && echo good || echo bad bad No idea what causes it, but a quick grep (hah!) for qflag turns up the following horror: /* Find out the correct return value according to the results and the command line option. */ exit(c ? (notfound ? (qflag ? 0 : 2) : 0) : (notfound ? 2 : 1)); which shows that -q *does* affect the exit code, but my brain refuses to try to understand that code.
