MDGREP FUNCTIONS
The --grep command (and certain other commands) filter their input, on
a line-by-line basis, according to control lines embedded in the input
and on information gleaned from the NetHack(6) configuration. This al-
lows certain changes such as embedding platform-specific documentation
into the master documentation files.
