zgrep,

zfgrep
—
print lines matching a pattern in gzip-compressed
files
SYNOPSIS
zgrep |
[grep-flags]
[--]
pattern [files
...] |
zegrep |
[grep-flags]
[--]
pattern [file
...] |
zfgrep |
[grep-flags]
[--]

DESCRIPTION
zgrep runs
grep(1)
on
files or stdin, if no
files
argument is given, after decompressing them with
zcat(1).
The
grep-flags and
pattern arguments
are passed on to
grep(1). If an
-e flag is found in the
grep-flags,
zgrep will not look for a
pattern
argument.
zegrep calls
egrep(1), while
zfgrep calls
fgrep(1).
EXIT STATUS
In case of missing arguments or missing pattern, 1 will be returned, otherwise
0.
