.SH DESCRIPTION
|
||
|
|
.B xzless
|
||
|
|
is a filter that displays pagefulls of uncompressed text from compressed
|
||
|
|
file(s) to a terminal. It works on files compressed with
|
||
|
|
.BR xz (1)
|
||
|
|
or
|
||
|
|
.BR lzma (1).
|
||
|
|
If no
|
||
|
|
.I files
|
||
|
|
are given,
|
||
|
|
.B xzless
|
||
|
|
reads from standard input.
|
||
|
|
.PP
|
||
|
|
.B xzless
|
||
|
|
uses
|
||
|
|
.BR less (1)
|
||
|
|
as its only pager. Unlike
|
||
|
|
.BR xzmore ,
|
||
|
|
the choice of pagers is not alterable by an environment variable.
|
||
|
|
Commands are based on both
|
||
|
|
.BR more (1)
|
||
|
|
and
|
||
|
|
.BR vi (1),
|
||
|
|
and allow back and forth movement and searching.
|
||
|
|
See the
|
||
|
|
.BR less (1)
|
||
|
|
manual for more information.
|
||
|
|
.PP
|
||
|
|
The command named
|
||
|
|
.B lzless
|
||
|
|
is provided for backward compatibility with LZMA Utils.
