Grep is fully capably capable of matching lines directly from the file
so you don't need anything piping the file to it. ...
Now, what if the file is compressed ?
There is
bzless config.tar.bz2 | grep PREEMT*
would that somehow work pipeless ?
$ less config-2.6.39.1 | grep PREEMPT
It's also possible with the angle bracket
<config.txt grep PREEMT*
BUT: I really would NOT recommend that.
If you accidentally reverse the bracket (>), you've lost....
