       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

              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
