ZGREP(1) ZGREP(1) NNAAMMEE zgrep - search possibly compressed files for a regular expression SSYYNNOOPPSSIISS zzggrreepp [ grep_options ] [[ --ee ]] _p_a_t_t_e_r_n _f_i_l_e_n_a_m_e... DDEESSCCRRIIPPTTIIOONN _Z_g_r_e_p is used to invoke the _g_r_e_p on compress'ed or gzip'ed files. All options specified are passed directly to _g_r_e_p_. If no file is specified, then the standard input is decom- pressed if necessary and fed to grep. Otherwise the given files are uncompressed if necessary and fed to _g_r_e_p_. If _z_g_r_e_p is invoked as _z_e_g_r_e_p or _z_f_g_r_e_p then _e_g_r_e_p or _f_g_r_e_p is used instead of _g_r_e_p_. If the GREP environment variable is set, _z_g_r_e_p uses it as the _g_r_e_p program to be invoked. For example: for sh: GREP=fgrep zgrep string files for csh: (setenv GREP fgrep; zgrep string files) AAUUTTHHOORR Charles Levert (charles@comm.polymtl.ca) SSEEEE AALLSSOO grep(1), egrep(1), fgrep(1), zdiff(1), zmore(1), znew(1), zforce(1), gzip(1), gzexe(1) 1 .
