NAME
zstdgrep - print lines matching a pattern in zstandard-compressed files
SYNOPSIS
zstdgrep [grep-flags] [--] pattern [files ...]
DESCRIPTION
zstdgrep runs grep (1) on files, or stdin if no files argument is
given, after decompressing them with zstdcat (1).
The grep-flags and pattern arguments are passed on to grep (1). If an
-e flag is found in the grep-flags, zstdgrep will not look for a pat-
tern argument.
Note that modern grep alternatives such as ripgrep (rg) support
zstd-compressed files out of the box, and can prove better alternatives
than zstdgrep notably for unsupported complex pattern searches. Note
though that such alternatives may also feature some minor command line
differences.
EXIT STATUS
In case of missing arguments or missing pattern, 1 will be returned,
otherwise 0.
