.SH DESCRIPTION
-Zgrep \- Grep wrapper for compressed files.
-.PP
-Zgrep is a wrapper script around the grep command that allows
-transparent search on any combination of compressed and non\-compressed
-files. If any given file is compressed, its uncompressed content is
-used. If a given file does not exist, zgrep tries the compressed file
-names corresponding to the supported compressors. If no files are
-specified, data is 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 compressed with the same compressor.
+Zgrep is a front end to the grep program that allows transparent search
+on any combination of compressed and non\-compressed files. If any given
+file is compressed, its uncompressed content is used. If a given file
+does not exist, and its name does not end with one of the known
+extensions, zgrep tries the compressed file names corresponding to the
+supported compressors. If no files are specified, data is 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
+compressed with the same compressor.
The supported compressors are bzip2, gzip, lzip and xz.
.PP
-Zegrep is a shortcut for "zgrep \fB\-E\fR"
-Zfgrep is a shortcut for "zgrep \fB\-F\fR"
-.PP
-GREP_OPTIONS are passed directly to grep.
-The exit status from grep is preserved.
+Exit status is 0 if match, 1 if no match, 2 if trouble.
