bzgrep - Unix, Linux Command
NAME
bzgrep, bzfgrep, bzegrep - search possibly bzip2 compressed files for a regular expression
SYNOPSIS
bzgrep [ grep_options ]
[ -e ] pattern filename...
bzegrep [ egrep_options ]
[ -e ] pattern filename...
bzfgrep [ fgrep_options ]
[ -e ] pattern filename... DESCRIPTION
Bzgrep is used to invoke the
grep on bzip2-compressed files. All options specified are passed directly to
grep. If no file is specified, then the standard input is decompressed
if necessary and fed to grep.
Otherwise the given files are uncompressed if necessary and fed to
grep.
If
bzgrep is invoked as
bzegrep or
bzfgrep then
egrep or
fgrep is used instead of
grep. If the GREP environment variable is set,
bzgrep uses it as the
grep program to be invoked. For example:
for sh: GREP=fgrep bzgrep string files
for csh: (setenv GREP fgrep; bzgrep string files)
