All options specified are passed directly to .I grep. If no file is specified, then the standard input is decompressed if necessary and fed to grep. Otherwise the given files are uncompressed if necessary and fed to .I grep. .PP If .I bzgrep is invoked as .I bzegrep or .I bzfgrep then .I egrep or .I fgrep is used instead of .I grep. If the GREP environment variable is set, .I bzgrep uses it as the .I grep program to be invoked. For example: for sh: GREP=fgrep bzgrep string files for csh: (setenv GREP fgrep; bzgrep string files) .SH AUTHOR Charles Levert (charles@comm.polymtl.ca).
