NAME
     bzgrep,  bzfgrep, bzegrep - search possibly bzip2 compressed
     files for a regular expression

SYNOPSIS
     bzgrep [ grep_options ] [ -e ] pattern filename...
     bzegrep [ egrep_options ] [ -e ] pattern filename...
     bzfgrep [ fgrep_options ] [ -e ] pattern filename...

DESCRIPTION
     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)
