|

| 7 | .SH DESCRIPTION
|
|---|
| 8 | .I Zless
|
|---|
| 9 | is a filter which allows examination of compressed or plain text files
|
|---|
| 10 | one screenful at a time on a soft-copy terminal. It is the equivalent of
|
|---|
| 11 | setting the environment variable LESSOPEN to '|gzip -cdfq -- %s',
|
|---|
| 12 | and the environment variable LESSMETACHARS to
|
|---|
| 13 | '<space><tab><newline>;*?"()<>[|&^`#\$%=~',
|
|---|
| 14 | and then running
|
|---|
| 15 | .IR less .
|
|---|
| 16 | However, enough people seem to think that having the
|
|---|
| 17 | command
|
|---|
| 18 | .I zless
|
|---|
| 19 | available is important to be worth providing it.

|
|---|
| 22 | .SH "BUGS"
|
|---|
| 23 | .I Zless
|
|---|
| 24 | does not work with compressed data that is piped to it via standard
|
|---|
| 25 | input; it requires that input files be specified as arguments.
