Description Cheer Xiao 2011-10-21 17:17:19 UTC 
From "man 1p grep":

-x     Consider  only  input  lines that use all characters in the line
       excluding the terminating <newline> to  match  an  entire  fixed
       string or regular expression to be matching lines.

-x is specified by POSIX. Please add support.
