.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
Zcat \- Cat wrapper for compressed files.
|
|
.PP
|
|
Zcat is a wrapper script around the cat command that allows transparent
|
|
concatenation of any combination of compressed and non\-compressed files.
|
|
If any given file is compressed, its uncompressed content is used. If a
|
|
given file does not exist, zcat tries the compressed file names
|
|
corresponding to the supported compressors. If no files are specified,
|
|
data is read from standard input, decompressed if needed, and sent to
|
|
stdout. Data read from standard input must be of the same type; all
|
|
uncompressed or all compressed with the same compressor.
|
|
The supported compressors are bzip2, gzip, lzip and xz.
|
|
.PP
|
|
CAT_OPTIONS are passed directly to cat.
|
|
The exit status from cat is preserved.
