NAME
       zless - file perusal filter for crt viewing of compressed text

SYNOPSIS
       zless [ name ...	 ]

DESCRIPTION
       Zless  is a filter which allows examination of compressed or plain text
       files one screenful at a time on	 a  soft-copy  terminal.   It  is  the
       equivalent of setting the environment variable LESSOPEN to '|gzip -cdfq
       -- %s', and the environment variable LESSMETACHARS to and then  running
       less.   However,	 enough	 people	 seem to think that having the command
       zless available is important to be worth providing it.

SEE ALSO
       zmore(1), less(1)

BUGS
       Zless does not work with compressed data that is piped to it via	 stan‐
       dard input; it requires that input files be specified as arguments.
