Hi,
grep fails to parse the tilde (~) to represent $HOME, when it is used to
give a file's path to --file=, but it works with --file
% echo "a" > ~/tmp-pattern
% echo "hola" | LANG=C grep --file=/home/santiago/tmp-pattern
hola
% echo "hola" | LANG=C grep --file /home/santiago/tmp-pattern
hola
% echo "hola" | LANG=C grep --file ~/tmp-pattern
hola
% echo "hola" | LANG=C grep --file=${HOME}/tmp-pattern
hola
% echo "hola" | LANG=C grep --file=~/tmp-pattern
grep: ~/tmp-pattern: No such file or directory
