NAME
       zstdgrep	- print	lines matching a pattern in zstandard-compressed files

SYNOPSIS
       zstdgrep	[grep-flags] [--] pattern [files ...]

DESCRIPTION
       zstdgrep	runs grep(1) on	files, or stdin	if no files argument is	given,
       after decompressing them	with zstdcat(1).

       The grep-flags and pattern arguments are	passed on to grep(1). If an -e
       flag  is	 found in the grep-flags, zstdgrep will	not look for a pattern
       argument.

       Note that modern	grep alternatives  such	 as  ripgrep  (rg(1))  support
       zstd-compressed files out of the	box, and can prove better alternatives
       than  zstdgrep  notably	for unsupported	complex	pattern	searches. Note
       though that such	alternatives may also feature some minor command  line
       differences.

EXIT STATUS
       In  case	 of  missing arguments or missing pattern, 1 will be returned,
       otherwise 0.
