.SH NAME
Zcat \- manual page for Zcat 0.5
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B zcat
[\fIOPTIONS\fR] [\fICAT_OPTIONS\fR] [\fIFILES\fR]
.SH DESCRIPTION
Zcat \- Cat wrapper for compressed files.
.PP
Zcat is a wrapper script around the cat command that allows transparent
concatenation of 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, zcat tries the compressed file names
corresponding to the supported compressors. If no files are specified,
the standard input is decompressed using the selected compressor and
sent to stdout.
The supported compressors are gzip, bzip2, lzip and xz.
.PP
CAT_OPTIONS are passed directly to cat.
The exit status from cat is preserved.
