22 !!DESCRIPTION

24
25 ''Bzgrep'' is used to invoke the ''grep'' on
26 bzip2-compressed files. All options specified are passed
27 directly to ''grep.'' If no file is specified, then the
28 standard input is decompressed if necessary and fed to grep.
29 Otherwise the given files are uncompressed if necessary and
30 fed to ''grep.''

33 If ''bzgrep'' is invoked as ''bzegrep'' or
34 ''bzfgrep'' then ''egrep'' or ''fgrep'' is used
35 instead of ''grep.'' If the GREP environment variable is
36 set, ''bzgrep'' uses it as the ''grep'' program to be
37 invoked. For example:
38
39
40 for sh: GREP=fgrep bzgrep string files for csh: (setenv GREP
41 fgrep; bzgrep string files)
