All options specified are passed directly to 26.I grep. 27If no file is specified, then the standard input is decompressed 28if necessary and fed to grep. 29Otherwise the given files are uncompressed if necessary and fed to 30.I grep. 31.PP 32If 33.I bzgrep 34is invoked as 35.I bzegrep 36or 37.I bzfgrep 38then 39.I egrep 40or 41.I fgrep 42is used instead of 43.I grep. 44If the GREP environment variable is set, 45.I bzgrep 46uses it as the 47.I grep 48program to be invoked.
