+.TH LZGREP 1 "24 Jun 2005" "LZMA utils"
+.SH NAME
+lzgrep \- search LZMA compressed files for a regular expression
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B lzgrep
+.RI [ grep_options ]
+.RB [ \-e ]
+.I pattern
+.IR filename ".\|.\|."
+.br
+.B lzegrep
+.RB ...
+.br
+.B lzfgrep
+.RB ...
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.B lzgrep
+is used to invoke the
+.BR grep (1)
+on LZMA compressed files. All options specified are passed directly to
+.BR 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
+.BR grep .
+.PP
+If
+.B lzgrep
+is invoked as
+.B lzegrep
+or
+.B lzfgrep
+then
+.B egrep
+or
+.B fgrep
+is used instead of
+.B grep.
+If the GREP environment variable is set,
+.B lzgrep
+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)
