DESCRIPTION xzgrep invokes <STRONG><A HREF="/man1/grep">grep(1)</A></STRONG> on files which may be either uncompressed or compressed with <STRONG><A HREF="/man1/xz">xz(1)</A></STRONG>, <STRONG><A HREF="/man1/lzma">lzma(1)</A></STRONG>, <STRONG><A HREF="/man1/gzip">gzip(1)</A></STRONG>, <STRONG><A HREF="/man1/bzip2">bzip2(1)</A></STRONG>, or <STRONG><A HREF="/man1/lzop">lzop(1)</A></STRONG>. All op- tions specified are passed directly to <STRONG><A HREF="/man1/grep">grep(1)</A></STRONG>. If no file is specified, then standard input is decompressed if neces- sary and fed to <STRONG><A HREF="/man1/grep">grep(1)</A></STRONG>. When reading from standard input, <STRONG><A HREF="/man1/gzip">gzip(1)</A></STRONG>, <STRONG><A HREF="/man1/bzip2">bzip2(1)</A></STRONG>, and <STRONG><A HREF="/man1/lzop">lzop(1)</A></STRONG> compressed files are not supported. If xzgrep is invoked as xzegrep or xzfgrep then <STRONG><A HREF="/man1/egrep">egrep(1)</A></STRONG> or <STRONG><A HREF="/man1/fgrep">fgrep(1)</A></STRONG> is used instead of <STRONG><A HREF="/man1/grep">grep(1)</A></STRONG>. The same applies to names lzgrep, lzegrep, and lzfgrep, which are provided for backward compatibility with LZMA Utils. ENVIRONMENT GREP If the GREP environment variable is set, xzgrep uses it instead of <STRONG><A HREF="/man1/grep">grep(1)</A></STRONG>, <STRONG><A HREF="/man1/egrep">egrep(1)</A></STRONG>, or <STRONG><A HREF="/man1/fgrep">fgrep(1)</A></STRONG>.
