NAME
       zipgrep - search	files in a ZIP archive for lines matching a pattern

SYNOPSIS
       zipgrep	   [egrep_options]     pattern	   file[.zip]	 [file(s) ...]
       [-x xfile(s) ...]

DESCRIPTION
       zipgrep will search files within	a ZIP archive for lines	 matching  the
       given  string  or  pattern.   zipgrep  is  a  shell script and requires
       egrep(1)	and unzip(1L) to function.  Its	output is identical to that of
       egrep(1).

ARGUMENTS
       pattern
	      The pattern to be	located	within a ZIP archive.  Any  string  or
	      regular expression accepted by egrep(1) may be used.  file[.zip]
	      Path  of	the  ZIP  archive.   (Wildcard expressions for the ZIP
	      archive name are not supported.)	If the literal filename	is not
	      found, the suffix	.zip is	appended.  Note	 that  self-extracting
	      ZIP  files  are  supported,  as with any other ZIP archive; just
	      specify the .exe suffix (if any) explicitly.

       [file(s)]
	      An optional list of archive members to be	 processed,  separated
	      by spaces.  If no	member files are specified, all	members	of the
	      ZIP  archive  are	searched.  Regular expressions (wildcards) may
	      be used to match multiple	members:

	      *	     matches a sequence	of 0 or	more characters

	      ?	     matches exactly 1 character

	      [...]  matches any single	character found	inside	the  brackets;
		     ranges  are specified by a	beginning character, a hyphen,
		     and an ending character.  If an exclamation  point	 or  a
		     caret  (`!'  or  `^')  follows the	left bracket, then the
		     range of characters within	the brackets  is  complemented
		     (that  is,	 anything  except  the	characters  inside the
		     brackets is considered a match).

	      (Be sure to quote	any character that might otherwise  be	inter-
	      preted or	modified by the	operating system.)

       [-x xfile(s)]
	      An optional list of archive members to be	excluded from process-
	      ing.   Since  wildcard  characters  match	 directory  separators
	      (`/'), this option may be	used to	exclude	any files that are  in
	      subdirectories.	For  example,  ``zipgrep  grumpy foo *.[ch] -x
	      */*'' would search for the string	``grumpy''  in	all  C	source
	      files  in	the main directory of the ``foo'' archive, but none in
	      any subdirectories.  Without the -x option, all C	 source	 files
	      in all directories within	the zipfile would be searched.

OPTIONS
       All options prior to the	ZIP archive filename are passed	to egrep(1).
