BZGREP(1)		     General Commands Manual		       BZGREP(1)

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  in-
     stead  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)
