Zutils is a collection of utilities able to process any combination of
compressed and uncompressed files transparently. If any given file,
including standard input, is compressed, its decompressed content is
used. Compressed files are decompressed on the fly; no temporary files
are created.
These utilities are not wrapper scripts but safer and more efficient C++
programs. In particular the "--recursive" option is very efficient in
programs. In particular the '--recursive' option is very efficient in
those utilities supporting it.
The provided utilities are zcat, zcmp, zdiff, zgrep, ztest and zupdate.

makes them safe to use with zutils. Gzip and xz may return ambiguous
warning values, making them less reliable back ends for zutils.

FORMAT NOTE 1: The '--format' option allows the processing of a subset
of formats in recursive mode and when trying compressed file names:
"zgrep foo -r --format=bz2,lz somedir somefile.tar".
'zgrep foo -r --format=bz2,lz somedir somefile.tar'.

FORMAT NOTE 2: If the '--force-format' option is given, the files are
passed to the corresponding decompressor without verifying their format,
allowing for example the processing of compress'd (.Z) files with gzip:
"zcmp --force-format=gz file.Z file.lz".
'zcmp --force-format=gz file.Z file.lz'.
LANGUAGE NOTE: Uncompressed = not compressed = plain data; it may never
have been compressed. Decompressed is used to refer to data which have
undergone the process of decompression.
