bzgrep, bzfgrep, bzegrep - search possibly bzip2 compressed files
for a regular expression
bzgrep [ grep_options ] [ -e ] pattern filename...
bzegrep [ egrep_options ] [ -e ] pattern filename...
bzfgrep [ fgrep_options ] [ -e ] pattern filename...
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)
