bzgrep
bzgrep
The bzgrep command is a command-line utility that can be used to search for text in bzip2-compressed files. It is similar to the grep command, but it can be used to search for text in compressed files.
The bzgrep command has a number of options that can be used to control the behavior of the command. Some of the most commonly used options are:
-c: This option prints the number of matches that were found. -i: This option ignores case differences when searching for text. -n: This option prints the line number of each match. -v: This option prints all lines that do not contain the specified pattern. For example, the following command will search for the text "hello" in the bzip2-compressed file file.bz2:
bzgrep "hello" file.bz2
The output of the bzgrep command will be a list of all the lines in the file that contain the text "hello".
