SYNOPSIS

9       xzless [file...]
10       lzless [file...]
11

DESCRIPTION

13       xzless is a filter that displays text from compressed files to a termi‐
14       nal.  It works on files compressed with xz(1) or lzma(1).  If no  files
15       are given, xzless reads from standard input.
16
17       xzless  uses  less(1) to present its output.  Unlike xzmore, its choice
18       of pager cannot be altered by setting an  environment  variable.   Com‐
19       mands  are  based  on  both  more(1) and vi(1) and allow back and forth
20       movement and searching.  See the less(1) manual for more information.
21
22       The command named lzless is provided for  backward  compatibility  with
23       LZMA Utils.
