Simulation of Grep Command

This C program implements a basic grep function that searches a file for a given pattern. It takes the filename and pattern as command line arguments, opens the file, reads each line, and checks if the line contains the pattern using strstr. It prints out any matching lines along with the line number and increments a count of occurrences.
