Seriously, though, it is often easier to filter output from a standard
command with grep, than it is to learn all the command flags.

 Don’t forget the option of JSON-format output, for even easier processing
in scripts than messing around with regexes.

Forget? That presumes I ever knew. Well maybe I did, nowadays, I forget what I have forgotten.
Anyway, JSON output looks cool. However, it doesn't seem to be common for other commands.
