NAME
       agrep - print lines approximately matching a pattern

SYNOPSIS
       agrep [OPTION]...  PATTERN [FILE]...

DESCRIPTION
       Searches for approximate matches of PATTERN in each FILE or
standard input.   Exam-
       ple: 'agrep -2 optimize foo.txt' outputs all lines in  file
'foo.txt'  that  match
       "optimize"  within two errors.  E.g. lines which contain
"optimise", "optmise", and
       "opitmize" all match.
