DDEESSCCRRIIPPTTIIOONN _B_z_g_r_e_p is used to invoke the _g_r_e_p on bzip2-compressed files. All options specified are passed directly to _g_r_e_p_. If no file is speci- fied, then the standard input is decompressed if necessary and fed to grep. Otherwise the given files are uncompressed if necessary and fed to _g_r_e_p_. If _b_z_g_r_e_p is invoked as _b_z_e_g_r_e_p or _b_z_f_g_r_e_p then _e_g_r_e_p or _f_g_r_e_p is used instead of _g_r_e_p_. If the GREP environment variable is set, _b_z_g_r_e_p uses it as the _g_r_e_p program to be invoked. For example: for sh: GREP=fgrep bzgrep string files for csh: (setenv GREP fgrep; bzgrep string files) AAUUTTHHOORR Charles Levert (charles@comm.polymtl.ca).
