NAME
     xzgrep - search compressed files for a regular expression

SYNOPSIS
     xzgrep [grep_options] [-e] pattern file...
     xzegrep ...
     xzfgrep ...
     lzgrep ...
     lzegrep ...
     lzfgrep ...

DESCRIPTION
     xzgrep  invokes  grep(1) on files which may be either uncom-
     pressed or  compressed  with  xz(1),  lzma(1),  gzip(1),  or
     bzip2(1).   All  options  specified  are  passed directly to
     grep(1).

     If no file is specified, then standard input is decompressed
     if necessary and fed to grep(1).  When reading from standard
     input, gzip(1) and bzip2(1) compressed files  are  not  sup-
     ported.

     If  xzgrep is invoked as xzegrep or xzfgrep then egrep(1) or
     fgrep(1) is used instead of grep(1).  The  same  applies  to
     names  lzgrep,  lzegrep, and lzfgrep, which are provided for
     backward compatibility with LZMA Utils.

ENVIRONMENT
     GREP If the GREP environment variable is set, xzgrep uses it
          instead of grep(1), egrep(1), or fgrep(1).
