is used to invoke the

-on LZMA compressed files. All options specified are passed directly to

If
-.B lzgrep
+.B xzgrep
is invoked as
-.B lzegrep
+.B xzegrep
or
-.B lzfgrep
+.B xzfgrep
then
.B egrep
or
.B fgrep
is used instead of
.B grep.
+The same applies to names
+.BR lzgrep ,
+.BR lzegrep ,
+and
+.BR lzfgrep ,
+which are provided for backward compatibility with LZMA Utils.
+
If the GREP environment variable is set,
-.B lzgrep
+.B xzgrep
uses it as the
.B grep
program to be invoked. For example:
- for sh: GREP=fgrep lzgrep string files
- for csh: (setenv GREP fgrep; lzgrep string files)
+ for sh: GREP=fgrep xzgrep string files
+ for csh: (setenv GREP fgrep; xzgrep string files)
