SH NAME
bzgrep, bzfgrep, bzegrep \- search possibly bzip2 compressed files for a regular expression
SH SYNOPSIS
B bzgrep
[ grep_options ]
BI [\ -e\ ] " pattern"
IR filename ".\|.\|."
br
B bzegrep
[ egrep_options ]
BI [\ -e\ ] " pattern"
IR filename ".\|.\|."
br
B bzfgrep
[ fgrep_options ]
BI [\ -e\ ] " pattern"
IR filename ".\|.\|."
SH DESCRIPTION
IR Bzgrep
is used to invoke the
I grep
on bzip2-compressed files. All options specified are passed directly to
I 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
I grep.
PP
If
I bzgrep
is invoked as
I bzegrep
or
I bzfgrep
then
I egrep
or
I fgrep
is used instead of
I grep.
If the GREP environment variable is set,
I bzgrep
uses it as the
I grep
program to be invoked. For example:
for sh: GREP=fgrep bzgrep string files
for csh: (setenv GREP fgrep; bzgrep string files)
