DESCRIPTION - xzgrep invokes grep(1) on files which may be either uncompressed or - compressed with xz(1), lzma(1), gzip(1), bzip2(1), lzop(1), or zstd(1). - All options specified are passed directly to grep(1). + xzgrep invokes grep(1) on uncompressed contents of files. The formats + of the files are determined from the filename suffixes. Any file with + a suffix supported by xz(1), gzip(1), bzip2(1), lzop(1), zstd(1), or + lz4(1) will be decompressed; all other files are assumed to be uncom- + pressed. + + If no files are specified or file is - then standard input is read. + When reading from standard input, only files supported by xz(1) are de- + compressed. Other files are assumed to be in uncompressed form al- + ready. + + Most options of grep(1) are supported.
