+.TH ZCAT "1" "January 2019" "zcat (zutils) 1.8" "User Commands"
+.SH NAME
+zcat \- decompress and concatenate files to standard output
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B zcat
+[\fI\,options\/\fR] [\fI\,files\/\fR]
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+Zcat copies each given file to standard output. If any given file is
+compressed, its decompressed content is used. If a given file does not
+exist, and its name does not end with one of the known extensions, zcat
+tries the compressed file names corresponding to the formats supported.
+.PP
+If a file is specified as '\-', data are read from standard input,
+decompressed if needed, and sent to standard output. Data read from
+standard input must be of the same type; all uncompressed or all in the
+same compression format.
+.PP
+If no files are specified, recursive searches examine the current
+working directory, and nonrecursive searches read standard input.
+.PP
+The formats supported are bzip2, gzip, lzip and xz.
+.PP
+Exit status is 0 if no errors occurred, non\-zero otherwise.
