NAME
       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

              matched.

              format removes author lines, leading spaces, and file names.
