NAME
     xzless, lzless - view xz or lzma compressed (text) files

SYNOPSIS
     xzless [file...]
     lzless [file...]

DESCRIPTION
     xzless  is a filter that displays text from compressed files
     to a terminal.  It works on files compressed with  xz(1)  or
     lzma(1).   If no files are given, xzless reads from standard
     input.

     xzless uses less(1) to present its output.   Unlike  xzmore,
     its choice of pager cannot be altered by setting an environ-
     ment variable.  Commands are based on both more(1) and vi(1)
     and  allow  back  and forth movement and searching.  See the
     less(1) manual for more information.

     The command named lzless is provided for  backward  compati-
     bility with LZMA Utils.

ENVIRONMENT
     LESSMETACHARS
          A  list  of  characters  special  to the shell.  Set by
          xzless unless it is already set in the environment.

     LESSOPEN
          Set to a command line to invoke the xz(1)  decompressor
          for preprocessing the input files to less(1).
