[SOLVED] How do you exclude symlinks in a grep?

Issue

I want to grep -R a directory but exclude symlinks how dow I do it?

Maybe something like grep -R --no-symlinks or something?

Thank you.

Solution

Gnu grep v2.11-8 and on if invoked with -r excludes symlinks not specified on the command line and includes them when invoked with -R.
