Source-reported description

The fullest retained description is shown with its source. Distribution packaging descriptions may include downstream details.

The GNU versions of commonly used grep utilities. Grep searches through textual input for lines which contain a match to a specified pattern and then prints the matching lines. GNU's grep utilities include grep, egrep and fgrep. GNU grep is needed by many scripts, so it shall be installed on every system.

Mapping provenance

Only source-backed identity signals create public cross-OS links. A reviewer can later approve or dispute an inferred relationship without rewriting native package history.
