NAME

6       zstdgrep - print lines matching a pattern in zstandard-compressed files
7

SYNOPSIS

9       zstdgrep [grep-flags] [--] pattern [files ...]
10

DESCRIPTION

12       zstdgrep  runs  grep  (1)  on  files,  or stdin if no files argument is
13       given, after decompressing them with zstdcat (1).
14
15       The grep-flags and pattern arguments are passed on to grep (1).  If  an
16       -e  flag  is found in the grep-flags, zstdgrep will not look for a pat‐
17       tern argument.
18
19       Note that  modern  grep  alternatives  such  as  ripgrep  (rg)  support
20       zstd-compressed files out of the box, and can prove better alternatives
21       than zstdgrep notably for unsupported complex  pattern  searches.  Note
22       though  that such alternatives may also feature some minor command line
23       differences.
24

EXIT STATUS

26       In case of missing arguments or missing pattern, 1  will  be  returned,
27       otherwise 0.
