LZGREP(1)

NAME
Lzgrep - manual page for Lzgrep 0.5

SYNOPSIS
lzgrep [OPTIONS] [GREP_OPTIONS] PATTERN [FILES]

DESCRIPTION
Lzgrep - Grep wrapper for compressed files.

Lzgrep is a wrapper script around the grep command that allows transparent search on any combination of compressed and non-compressed files. If any given file is compressed, its uncompressed content is used. If a given file does not exist, lzgrep tries the compressed file name corresponding to the default compressor selected. The supported compressors are gzip, bzip2 and lzip.

GREP_OPTIONS are passed directly to grep. The exit status from grep is preserved.
