.TH ZGREP "1" "May 2015" "zgrep (zutils) 1.4" "User Commands"
.SH NAME
zgrep \- search compressed files for a regular expression
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B zgrep
[\fI\,options\/\fR] \fI\,<pattern> \/\fR[\fI\,files\/\fR]
.SH DESCRIPTION
Zgrep is a front end to the grep program that allows transparent search
on any combination of compressed and uncompressed files. 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, zgrep 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 fed to grep. Data read from
standard input must be of the same type; all uncompressed or all
in the same compression format.
.PP
The supported formats are bzip2, gzip, lzip and xz.
.PP
Exit status is 0 if match, 1 if no match, 2 if trouble.
