<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2>
<B>xzless</B>
is a filter that displays text from compressed files to a terminal.
It works on files compressed with
<B><A HREF="/cgi-bin/man/man2html?1+xz">xz</A></B>(1)
or
<B><A HREF="/cgi-bin/man/man2html?1+lzma">lzma</A></B>(1).
If no
<I>files</I>
are given,
<B>xzless</B>
reads from standard input.
<P>
<B>xzless</B>
uses
<B><A HREF="/cgi-bin/man/man2html?1+less">less</A></B>(1)
to present its output.
Unlike
<B>xzmore</B>,
its choice of pager cannot be altered by
setting an environment variable.
Commands are based on both
<B><A HREF="/cgi-bin/man/man2html?1+more">more</A></B>(1)
and
<B><A HREF="/cgi-bin/man/man2html?1+vi">vi</A></B>(1)
and allow back and forth movement and searching.
See the
<B><A HREF="/cgi-bin/man/man2html?1+less">less</A></B>(1)
manual for more information.
<P>
The command named
<B>lzless</B>
is provided for backward compatibility with LZMA Utils.
