zstdgrep(1) -- print lines matching a pattern in zstandard-compressed files
============================================================================

SYNOPSIS
--------

`zstdgrep` [<grep-flags>] [--] <pattern> [<files> ...]


DESCRIPTION
-----------
`zstdgrep` runs `grep`(1) on files, or `stdin` if no files argument is given, after decompressing them with `zstdcat`(1).

The <grep-flags> and <pattern> arguments are passed on to `grep`(1).  If an `-e` flag is found in the <grep-flags>, `zstdgrep` will not look for a <pattern> argument.

Note that modern `grep` alternatives such as `ripgrep` (`rg`(1)) support `zstd`-compressed files out of the box,
and can prove better alternatives than `zstdgrep` notably for unsupported complex pattern searches.
Note though that such alternatives may also feature some minor command line differences.

EXIT STATUS
-----------
In case of missing arguments or missing pattern, 1 will be returned, otherwise 0.
