zmore
is a filter that allows the viewing
of files compressed with Lempel-Ziv encoding. Such files generally have a
“Z” or “gz” extension (both the
compress(1) and
gzip(1) formats are supported).
Any flags that are specified are passed to
more(1) or
less(1), respectively.
zless
is equivalent to
zmore
but uses
less(1) as a pager instead of
more(1).
When multiple files are specified, zmore
will pause at the end of each file and present the following prompt to the
user:
prev_file (END) - Next: next_file
Where prev_file is the file that was just displayed and next_file is the next file to be displayed. The following keys are recognized at the prompt:
If no files are specified, zmore
will read
from the standard input. In this mode zmore
will
assume gzip(1) style
compression since there is no suffix on which to make a decision.
