NAME
zgrep - search possibly compressed files for a regular expression
SYNOPSIS
zgrep [ grep_options ] [ -e ] pattern filename...
DESCRIPTION
Zgrep invokes grep on compressed or gzipped 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 the GREP environment variable is set, zgrep uses it as the grep
program to be invoked.
