ZRUN(1) moreutils ZRUN(1) NAME zrun - automatically uncompress arguments to command SYNOPSIS zrun command file.gz [...] DESCRIPTION Prefixing a shell command with "zrun" causes any compressed files that are arguments of the command to be transparently uncompressed to temp files (not pipes) and the uncompressed files fed to the command. This is a quick way to run a command that does not itself support com- pressed files, without manually uncompressing the files. The following compression types are supported: gz bz2 Z xz lzma lzo zstd If zrun is linked to some name beginning with z, like zprog, and the link is executed, this is equivalent to executing "zrun prog". BUGS Modifications to the uncompressed temporary file are not fed back into the input file, so using this as a quick way to make an editor support com- pressed files won't work.
