+# mygrep
+
+A reduced variation of the Unix-command `grep`.
+It reads in several files and prints all lines containing a keyword.
+
+`   SYNOPSIS
+    mygrep [-i] [-o outfile] keyword [file...] `
+
+The program `mygrep` reads files line by line and for each line checks whether it contains the search
+term keyword. The line is printed if it contains the keyword, otherwise it is not printed.
+The program accepts lines of any length.
+
+If one or multiple input files are specified (given as positional arguments after keyword), then mygrep 
+reads each of them in the order they are given. If no input file is specified, the program reads from
+`stdin`.
+
+If the option `-o` is given, the output is written to the specified file (outfile). Otherwise, the output is
+written to `stdout`.
+
+If the option `-i` is given, the program does not differentiate between lower and upper case letters, i.e.
+the search for the keyword in a line is case insensitive.
+
+**Note: The description is from the task I got from TU.**
