ZLESS(1)                             General Commands Manual                             ZLESS(1)

NAME
       zless - file perusal filter for crt viewing of compressed text

SYNOPSIS
       zless [ name ...  ]

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

SEE ALSO
       zmore(1), less(1)

BUGS
       Zless does not work with compressed data that is piped to it via standard  input;  it  re-
       quires  that  input files be specified as arguments.  To read compressed data from a pipe,
       you can use ...|gunzip|less instead of ...|zless.
