All options specified are passed directly to 26 .I grep. 27 If no file is specified, then the standard input is decompressed 28 if necessary and fed to grep. 29 Otherwise the given files are uncompressed if necessary and fed to 30 .I grep. 31 .PP 32 If 33 .I bzgrep 34 is invoked as 35 .I bzegrep 36 or 37 .I bzfgrep 38 then 39 .I egrep 40 or 41 .I fgrep 42 is used instead of 43 .I grep. 44 If the GREP environment variable is set, 45 .I bzgrep 46 uses it as the 47 .I grep 48 program to be invoked. For example: 49 50 for sh: GREP=fgrep bzgrep string files 51 for csh: (setenv GREP fgrep; bzgrep string files) 52 .SH AUTHOR 53 Charles Levert (charles (a] comm.polymtl.ca).
