The upstream GNU grep distribution does not come with a German man page. It's likely that the German man page for grep(1) on your system is from another package. By querying which Debian package owns this installed file, you may eventually be able to find the upstream source for this specific man page.

A quick web search reveals that it may be "manpages-de" at <http://www.infodrom.org/projects/manpages-de/>. Your may try contacting them and offer your help there. See also <http://packages.qa.debian.org/m/manpages-de.html>.

If you do help, please base your adaptation on the current CVS version of the English man page that does come with GNU grep and that can be found on this Savannah project page.

In the german man-page to grep(1), there are several errors:

The -C option is not inserted at the correct place, but between -B and -b
the --colour and --color option is missing.
-D is missing.
--label is missing.
--line-buffered is missing.
-m is missing.
-o is missing.
-P is missing.
-R is not listed, only -r and --recursive. The --include and --exclude options are missing, too.
-z is missing.

The version used is grep 2.5.1, from the debian package grep 2.5.1.ds1-5 . The german man-page is dated from october 26, 2002. The english original, against which I compared, is from january 22, 2002.

If these won't be fixed soon, then maybe one should add a note to the german man page that it's outdated.

In case you don't find somebody to fix it, please contact me at j.b.w at gmx dot ch. I've got no experience in writing manual pages, but I've quite some free time at the moment and I'm speaking german as native language.
