NAME
gzgrep, gzegrep, gzfgrep - search possibly compressed files for a regu-
lar expression
SYNOPSIS
gzgrep [ grep_options ] [ -e ] pattern filename...
DESCRIPTION
Gzgrep invokes grep on compressed or gzipped files. All options speci-
fied 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 the GREP environment variable is set, gzgrep uses it as the grep
program to be invoked.
EXIT STATUS
Exit status is 0 for a match, 1 for no matches, and 2 if trouble.
BUGS
The following grep options are not supported: --dereference-recursive
(-R), --directories (-d), --exclude, --exclude-from, --exclude-dir,
--include, --null (-Z), --null-data (-z), and --recursive (-r).
