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 op-
       tions 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)
