<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2>
|
|
|
|
<I>Zless</I>
|
|
|
|
is a filter which allows examination of compressed or plain text files
|
|
one screenful at a time on a soft-copy terminal. It is the equivalent of
|
|
setting the environment variable LESSOPEN to '|gzip -cdfq -- %s',
|
|
and the environment variable LESSMETACHARS to
|
|
'<space><tab><newline>;*?"()<>[|&^`#\$%=~',
|
|
and then running
|
|
<I>less</I>.
|
|
|
|
However, enough people seem to think that having the
|
|
command
|
|
<I>zless</I>
|
|
|
|
available is important to be worth providing it.

<H2>BUGS</H2>
|
|
|
|
<I>Zless</I>
|
|
|
|
does not work with compressed data that is piped to it via standard
|
|
input; it requires that input files be specified as arguments.
|
|
To read compressed data from a pipe, you can use
|
|
...<B>|gunzip|less</B>
|
|
|
|
instead of
|
|
...<B>|zless</B>.
