If any given file is compressed, its uncompressed +content is used. If a given file does not exist, zcat tries the +compressed file name corresponding to the default compressor selected. +The supported compressors are gzip, bzip2, lzip and xz. +.PP +CAT_OPTIONS are passed directly to cat. +The exit status from cat is preserved. +.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\-\-gzip\fR +use gzip as default decompressor +.TP +\fB\-\-bzip2\fR +use bzip2 as default decompressor +.TP +\fB\-\-lzip\fR +use lzip as default decompressor (default) +.TP +\fB\-\-xz\fR +use xz as default decompressor +.SH "REPORTING BUGS" +Report bugs to lzip\-bug@nongnu.org +Lzip home page: http://www.nongnu.org/lzip/lzip.html +.SH COPYRIGHT +Copyright \(co 2009 Antonio Diaz Diaz. +This script is free software: you have unlimited permission +to copy, distribute and modify it. |
