If any +file given is compressed, its decompressed content is copied. If a file +given 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. If a file fails to decompress, zcat continues copying the +rest of the files. +.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 compressed 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, 1 otherwise. +.SH OPTIONS +.TP +\fB\-h\fR, \fB\-\-help\fR +display this help and exit +.TP +\fB\-V\fR, \fB\-\-version\fR +output version information and exit +.TP +\fB\-A\fR, \fB\-\-show\-all\fR +equivalent to '\-vET' +.TP +\fB\-b\fR, \fB\-\-number\-nonblank\fR +number nonblank output lines +.TP +\fB\-e\fR +equivalent to '\-vE' +.TP +\fB\-E\fR, \fB\-\-show\-ends\fR +display '$' at end of each line +.TP +\fB\-M\fR, \fB\-\-format=\fR<list> +process only the formats in <list> +.TP +\fB\-n\fR, \fB\-\-number\fR +number all output lines +.TP +\fB\-N\fR, \fB\-\-no\-rcfile\fR +don't read runtime configuration file +.TP +\fB\-O\fR, \fB\-\-force\-format=\fR<fmt> +force the format given (bz2, gz, lz, xz) +.TP +\fB\-q\fR, \fB\-\-quiet\fR +suppress all messages +.TP +\fB\-r\fR, \fB\-\-recursive\fR +operate recursively on directories +.TP +\fB\-R\fR, \fB\-\-dereference\-recursive\fR +recursively follow symbolic links +.TP +\fB\-s\fR, \fB\-\-squeeze\-blank\fR +never more than one single blank line +.TP +\fB\-t\fR +equivalent to '\-vT' +.TP +\fB\-T\fR, \fB\-\-show\-tabs\fR +display TAB characters as '^I' +.TP +\fB\-v\fR, \fB\-\-show\-nonprinting\fR +use '^' and 'M\-' notation, except for LF and TAB +.TP +\fB\-\-verbose\fR +verbose mode (show error messages) +.TP +\fB\-\-bz2=\fR<command> +set compressor and options for bzip2 format +.TP +\fB\-\-gz=\fR<command> +set compressor and options for gzip format +.TP +\fB\-\-lz=\fR<command> +set compressor and options for lzip format +.TP +\fB\-\-xz=\fR<command> +set compressor and options for xz format +.SH "REPORTING BUGS" +Report bugs to zutils\-bug@nongnu.org +.br +Zutils home page: http://www.nongnu.org/zutils/zutils.html +.SH COPYRIGHT +Copyright \(co 2021 Antonio Diaz Diaz. +License GPLv2+: GNU GPL version 2 or later <http://gnu.org/licenses/gpl.html> +.br +This is free software: you are free to change and redistribute it. +There is NO WARRANTY, to the extent permitted by law. |
