       grep-changelog - print ChangeLog entries matching criteria

SYNOPSIS

       grep-changelog [options] [CHANGELOG...]

DESCRIPTION

       grep-changelog searches the named CHANGELOGs (by default files matching the regular expressions ChangeLog
       and  ChangeLog\.[0-9]+) for entries matching the specified criteria.  At least one option or file must be
       specified.  This program is distributed with GNU Emacs.

OPTIONS

       The program accepts unambiguous abbreviations for option names.

       --author=AUTHOR
              Print entries whose author matches regular expression AUTHOR.

       --text=TEXT
              Print entries whose text matches regular expression TEXT.

       --exclude=TEXT
              Exclude entries matching regular expression TEXT.

       --from-date=YYYY-MM-DD
              Only consider entries made on or after  the  given  date.   ChangeLog  date  entries  not  in  the
