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`) 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 <wiz@NetBSD.org> 31
