BZGREP(1)	    UNIX Programmer's 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 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 bzgrep is invoked as bzegrep or bzfgrep then egrep or
     fgrep is used instead of grep. If the GREP environment vari-
     able 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)
