ZGREP(1) FreeBSD General Commands Manual ZGREP(1)
NAME
zgrep, zegrep, zfgrep - print lines matching a pattern in gzip-compressed
files
SYNOPSIS
zgrep [grep-flags] [--] pattern [files ...]
zegrep [grep-flags] [--] pattern [file ...]
zfgrep [grep-flags] [--] pattern [file ...]
DESCRIPTION
zgrep runs grep(1) on files or stdin, if no files argument is given,
after decompressing them with zcat(1).
The grep-flags and pattern arguments are passed on to grep(1). If an -e
flag is found in the grep-flags, zgrep will not look for a pattern
argument.
zegrep calls egrep(1), while zfgrep calls fgrep(1).
EXIT STATUS
In case of missing arguments or missing pattern, 1 will be returned,
otherwise 0.
