.SH DESCRIPTION
-Zcat copies each given file ("\-" means standard input), 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 supported formats. If no files are specified,
-data is 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.
