NAME

6       zrun - automatically uncompress arguments to command
7

SYNOPSIS

9       zrun command file.gz [...]
10

DESCRIPTION

12       Prefixing a shell command with "zrun" causes any compressed files that
13       are arguments of the command to be transparently uncompressed to temp
14       files (not pipes) and the uncompressed files fed to the command.
15
16       This is a quick way to run a command that does not itself support com‐
17       pressed files, without manually uncompressing the files.
18

BUGS

20       Modifications to the uncompressed temporary file are not fed back into
21       the input file, so using this as a quick way to make an editor support
22       compressed files won't work.
