GZGREP(1)GZGREP(1)NAME
gzgrep, gzegrep, gzfgrep - search possibly compressed files for a regu‐
lar expression
SYNOPSIS
gzgrep [ grep_options ] [ -e ] pattern filename...
DESCRIPTION
Gzgrep is used to invoke the grep on compress'ed or gzip'ed files. All
options specified are passed directly to grep. If no file is speci‐
fied, 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 gzgrep is invoked as gzegrep or gzfgrep then egrep or fgrep is used
instead of grep. If the GREP environment variable is set, gzgrep uses
it as the grep program to be invoked. For example:
for sh: GREP=fgrep gzgrep string files
for csh: (setenv GREP fgrep; gzgrep string files)
