1zstdgrep(1) -- print lines matching a pattern in zstandard-compressed files 2============================================================================ 3 4SYNOPSIS 5-------- 6 7`zstdgrep` [<grep-flags>] [--] <pattern> [<files> ...] 8 9 10DESCRIPTION 11----------- 12`zstdgrep` runs `grep`(1) on files, or `stdin` if no files argument is given, after decompressing them with `zstdcat`(1). 13 14The <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. 15 16Note that modern `grep` alternatives such as `ripgrep` (`rg`(1)) support `zstd`-compressed files out of the box, 17and can prove better alternatives than `zstdgrep` notably for unsupported complex pattern searches. 18Note though that such alternatives may also feature some minor command line differences. 19 20EXIT STATUS 21----------- 22In case of missing arguments or missing pattern, 1 will be returned, otherwise 0. 23 24SEE ALSO 25-------- 26`zstd`(1) 27 28AUTHORS 29------- 30Thomas Klausner <[email protected]> 31
