NAME

       zstdgrep - print lines matching a pattern in zstandard-compressed files


SYNOPSIS

       zstdgrep [grep-flags] [--] pattern [files ...]


DESCRIPTION

       zstdgrep runs grep(1) on files, or stdin if no files argument is given,
       after decompressing them with zstdcat(1).

       The grep-flags and pattern arguments are passed on to grep(1). If an -e
       flag is found in the grep-flags, zstdgrep will not look for  a  pattern
       argument.

       Note  that  modern  grep  alternatives  such as ripgrep (rg(1)) support
       zstd-compressed files out of the box, and can prove better alternatives
       than  zstdgrep  notably  for unsupported complex pattern searches. Note
       though that such alternatives may also feature some minor command  line
       differences.


EXIT STATUS

       In  case  of  missing arguments or missing pattern, 1 will be returned,
       otherwise 0.
