Show lines before and after with grep

Little neat parameter for grep to show lines before and after the found line. -A number of lines to show after, -B number of lines to show before and -C numbers of lines to show before and after (with default of 2).

$ grep -C 5 "My error message" error.log

Excerpt of the documentation:

-A num
Print num lines of trailing context after each match. See also the -B and -C options.

-B num
Print num lines of leading context before each match. See also the -A and -C options.

-C [num]
Print num lines of leading and trailing context surrounding each match. The default is 2 and is equivalent to -A 2 -B 2. Note: no whitespace may be given between the option and its argument.
