If any file +given is compressed, its decompressed content is used. If a file given +does not exist, and its name does not end with one of the known +extensions, zgrep tries the compressed file names corresponding to the +formats supported until one is found. If a file fails to decompress, zgrep +continues searching the rest of the files. +.PP +If a file is specified as '\-', data are read from standard input, +decompressed if needed, and fed to grep. 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 +\&'zgrep \fB\-\-verbose\fR \fB\-V\fR' prints the version of the grep program used. +.PP +The formats supported are bzip2, gzip, lzip, xz, and zstd. +.PP +Exit status is 0 if match, 1 if no match, 2 if trouble. +Some options only work if the grep program used supports them. +.SH OPTIONS +.TP +\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\-\-text\fR +treat all files as text +.TP +\fB\-A\fR, \fB\-\-after\-context=\fR<n> +print <n> lines of trailing context +.TP +\fB\-b\fR, \fB\-\-byte\-offset\fR +print the byte offset of each line +.TP +\fB\-B\fR, \fB\-\-before\-context=\fR<n> +print <n> lines of leading context +.TP +\fB\-c\fR, \fB\-\-count\fR +only print a count of matching lines per file +.TP +\fB\-C\fR, \fB\-\-context=\fR<n> +print <n> lines of output context +.TP +\fB\-\-color[=\fR<when>] +show matched strings in color +.TP +\fB\-e\fR, \fB\-\-regexp=\fR<pattern> +use <pattern> as the pattern to match +.TP +\fB\-E\fR, \fB\-\-extended\-regexp\fR +<pattern> is an extended regular expression +.TP +\fB\-f\fR, \fB\-\-file=\fR<file> +obtain patterns from <file> +.TP +\fB\-F\fR, \fB\-\-fixed\-strings\fR +<pattern> is a set of newline\-separated strings +.TP +\fB\-G\fR, \fB\-\-basic\-regexp\fR +<pattern> is a basic regular expression (default) +.TP +\fB\-h\fR, \fB\-\-no\-filename\fR +suppress the prefixing file name on output +.TP +\fB\-H\fR, \fB\-\-with\-filename\fR +print the file name for each match +.TP +\fB\-i\fR, \fB\-\-ignore\-case\fR +ignore case distinctions +.TP +\fB\-I\fR +ignore binary files +.TP +\fB\-l\fR, \fB\-\-files\-with\-matches\fR +only print names of files containing matches +.TP +\fB\-L\fR, \fB\-\-files\-without\-match\fR +only print names of files containing no matches +.TP +\fB\-\-label=\fR<label> +use <label> as file name for standard input +.TP +\fB\-\-line\-buffered\fR +flush output on every line +.TP +\fB\-m\fR, \fB\-\-max\-count=\fR<n> +stop after <n> matches +.TP +\fB\-M\fR, \fB\-\-format=\fR<list> +process only the formats in <list> +.TP +\fB\-n\fR, \fB\-\-line\-number\fR +print the line number of each line +.TP +\fB\-N\fR, \fB\-\-no\-rcfile\fR +don't read runtime configuration file +.TP +\fB\-o\fR, \fB\-\-only\-matching\fR +show only the part of a line matching <pattern> +.TP +\fB\-O\fR, \fB\-\-force\-format=\fR<fmt> +force the input format +.TP +\fB\-P\fR, \fB\-\-perl\-regexp\fR +<pattern> is a Perl regular expression +.TP +\fB\-q\fR, \fB\-\-quiet\fR, \fB\-\-silent\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\-\-no\-messages\fR +suppress error messages +.TP +\fB\-T\fR, \fB\-\-initial\-tab\fR +make tabs line up (if needed) +.TP +\fB\-U\fR, \fB\-\-binary\fR +don't strip CR characters at EOL (DOS/Windows) +.TP +\fB\-v\fR, \fB\-\-invert\-match\fR +select non\-matching lines +.TP +\fB\-\-verbose\fR +verbose mode (show error messages) +.TP +\fB\-w\fR, \fB\-\-word\-regexp\fR +match only whole words +.TP +\fB\-x\fR, \fB\-\-line\-regexp\fR +match only whole lines +.TP +\fB\-Z\fR, \fB\-\-null\fR +print 0 byte (ASCII NUL) after file name +.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 +.TP +\fB\-\-zst=\fR<command> +set compressor and options for zstd format +.PP +Valid formats for options '\-M' and '\-O' are 'bz2', 'gz', 'lz', 'xz', 'zst', +and 'un' for uncompressed. +.PP +Numbers may be followed by a multiplier: k = kB = 10^3 = 1000, +Ki = KiB = 2^10 = 1024, M = 10^6, Mi = 2^20, G = 10^9, Gi = 2^30, etc... +.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 2024 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. +.SH "SEE ALSO" +The full documentation for +.B zgrep +is maintained as a Texinfo manual.
