!!NAME


bzgrep, bzfgrep, bzegrep - search possibly bzip2 compressed files for a regular expression
!!SYNOPSIS


__bzgrep__ [[ grep_options ] __[[ -e ]__ ''pattern
filename''...__
bzegrep__ [[ egrep_options ] __[[ -e ]__ ''pattern
filename''...__
bzfgrep__ [[ fgrep_options ] __[[ -e ]__ ''pattern
filename''...
!!DESCRIPTION


''Bzgrep'' is used to invoke the ''grep'' on
bzip2-compressed 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 ''bzgrep'' is invoked as ''bzegrep'' or
''bzfgrep'' then ''egrep'' or ''fgrep'' is used
instead of ''grep.'' If the GREP environment variable is
set, ''bzgrep'' uses it as the ''grep'' program to be
invoked. For example:


for sh: GREP=fgrep bzgrep string files for csh: (setenv GREP
fgrep; bzgrep string files)
