| .SH DESCRIPTION |
| .IR Bzgrep |
| is used to invoke the |
| .I grep |
| on bzip2-compressed files. All options specified are passed directly to |
| .I grep. |
| If no file is specified, then the standard input is decompressed |
| if necessary and fed to grep. |
| Otherwise the given files are uncompressed if necessary and fed to |
| .I grep. |
| .PP |
| If |
| .I bzgrep |
| is invoked as |
| .I bzegrep |
| or |
| .I bzfgrep |
| then |
| .I egrep |
| or |
| .I fgrep |
| is used instead of |
| .I grep. |
| If the GREP environment variable is set, |
| .I bzgrep |
| uses it as the |
| .I grep |
| program to be invoked. For example: |
| |
| for sh: GREP=fgrep bzgrep string files |
| for csh: (setenv GREP fgrep; bzgrep string files) |
