.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
|
|
.Nm zless
|
|
is equivalent to
|
|
.Nm zmore
|
|
but uses
|
|
.Xr less 1
|
|
as a pager instead of
|
|
.Xr more 1 .
|
|
.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.
|
|
