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).
