XZGREP(1) XZ Utils XZGREP(1)NAMExzgrep - search compressed files for a regular expression
SYNOPSISxzgrep [grep_options] [-e] pattern file...
xzegrep ...
xzfgrep ...
lzgrep ...
lzegrep ...
lzfgrep ...
DESCRIPTIONxzgrep invokes grep(1) on files which may be either uncompressed or
compressed with xz(1), lzma(1), gzip(1), or bzip2(1). All options
specified are passed directly to grep(1).
If no file is specified, then standard input is decompressed if necesā
sary and fed to grep(1). When reading from standard input, gzip(1) and
bzip2(1) compressed files are not supported.
If xzgrep is invoked as xzegrep or xzfgrep then egrep(1) or fgrep(1) is
used instead of grep(1). The same applies to names lzgrep, lzegrep,
and lzfgrep, which are provided for backward compatibility with LZMA
Utils.
ENVIRONMENT
GREP If the GREP environment variable is set, xzgrep uses it instead
of grep(1), egrep(1), or fgrep(1).
