description
xzgrep
invokes grep(1) on files which may be either
uncompressed or compressed with xz(1),
lzma(1), gzip(1), bzip2(1), or
lzop(1). All options specified are passed directly to
grep(1).
If no
file is specified, then standard input is
decompressed if necessary and fed to grep(1). When
reading from standard input, gzip(1),
bzip2(1), and lzop(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).
