GZGREP(1)							     GZGREP(1)

NAME
     gzgrep - search possibly compressed files for a regular expression

SYNOPSIS
     gzgrep [ grep_options ] [ -e ] pattern filename...

DESCRIPTION
     Gzgrep is used to invoke the grep on compress'ed or gzip'ed 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 gzgrep is invoked as gzegrep or gzfgrep then egrep or fgrep is used
     instead of grep. If the GREP environment variable is set, gzgrep uses it
     as the grep program to be invoked. For example:

	 for sh:  GREP=fgrep  gzgrep string files
	 for csh: (setenv GREP fgrep; gzgrep string files)
