.SH DESCRIPTION
.B xzgrep
invokes
2007-12-08 22:42:33 +00:00
.BR grep (1)
on
.I files
which may be either uncompressed or compressed with
.BR xz (1),
.BR lzma (1),
.BR gzip (1),
or
.BR bzip2 (1).
All options specified are passed directly to
.BR grep (1).
.PP
If no
.I file
is specified, then the standard input is decompressed if necessary and fed to
.BR grep (1).
When reading from standard input,
.BR gzip (1)
and
.BR bzip2 (1)
compressed files are not supported.

.PP
If
.B xzgrep
2007-12-08 22:42:33 +00:00
is invoked as
.B xzegrep
2007-12-08 22:42:33 +00:00
or
.B xzfgrep
2007-12-08 22:42:33 +00:00
then
.BR egrep (1)
2007-12-08 22:42:33 +00:00
or
.BR fgrep (1)
2007-12-08 22:42:33 +00:00
is used instead of
.BR grep (1).
The same applies to names
.BR lzgrep ,
.BR lzegrep ,
and
.BR lzfgrep ,
which are provided for backward compatibility with LZMA Utils.
