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 un-
     zip(1L) to function.  Its output is identical to that of egrep(1).

ARGUMENTS
     patternThe pattern to be located within a ZIP archive.  Any string or regu-
	    lar 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  sup-
	    ported,  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 charac-
		   ters 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  interpreted
	    or modified by the operating system.)

     [-x xfile(s)]
	    An	optional list of archive members to be excluded from processing.
	    Since wildcard characters match directory separators (`/'), this op-
	    tion 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).
