freebsd-dev/usr.bin/gzip/zmore.1
Xin LI 9a9ea25f4a Replace the GNU gzip with a slightly modified NetBSD gzip. The
NetBSD version is a feature-to-feature re-implementation of GNU
gzip using the freely-redistributable zlib and this version is
expected to be mostly bug-to-bug compatible with the GNU
implementation.

 - Because this is a piece of mature code and we want to make
   changes so it is added directly rather than importing to
   src/contrib.
 - Connect newly added code to src/usr.bin/ and rescue/rescue
   build.
 - Disconnect the GNU gzip code from build for now, they will
   be eventually removed completely.
 - Provide two new src.conf(5) knobs, WITHOUT_BZIP2_SUPPORT and
   WITHOUT_BZIP2.

Tested by:	kris (full exp-7 pointyhat build)
Approved by:	core (importing a 4-clause BSD licensed file)
Approved by:	re (adding new utility during -HEAD code slush)

.Sh NAME
.Nm zmore
.Nd view compressed files on a CRT
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.Nm zmore
.Op Ar flags
.Op Ar file ...
.Sh DESCRIPTION
.Nm
is a filter that allows the viewing of files compressed with Lempel-Ziv
encoding.
Such files generally have a
.Dq Z
or
.Dq gz
extension (both the
.Xr compress 1
and
.Xr gzip 1
formats are supported).
Any
.Ar flags
that are specified are passed to the user's preferred
.Ev PAGER
(which is
.Pa /usr/bin/more
by default).
.Pp
When multiple files are specified,
.Nm
will pause at the end of each file and present the following prompt to the user:
.Bd -literal -offset indent
prev_file (END) - Next: next_file
.Ed
.Pp
Where
.Sy prev_file
is the file that was just displayed and
.Sy next_file
is the next file to be displayed.
The following keys are recognized at the prompt:
.Bl -tag -width "e or q" -offset indent
.It Ic e No or Ic q
quit
.Nm zmore .
.It Ic s
skip the next file (or exit if the next file is the last).
.El
.Pp
If no files are specified,
.Nm
will read from the standard input.
In this mode
.Nm
will assume
.Xr gzip 1
style compression since there is no suffix on which to make a decision.
.Sh ENVIRONMENT
.Bl -tag -width "PAGER"
.It Ev PAGER
Program used to display files.
If unset,
.Pa /usr/bin/more
is used.
