.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.
The supported compressors are gzip, bzip2, lzip and xz.
.PP
GREP_OPTIONS are passed directly to grep.
The exit status from grep is preserved.
