XZMORE(1) XZ Utils XZMORE(1)
NAME
xzmore, lzmore - view xz or lzma compressed (text) files
SYNOPSIS
xzmore [file...]
lzmore [file...] (DEPRECATED)
DESCRIPTION
xzmore displays text from compressed files to a terminal using more(1).
Files supported by xz(1) are decompressed; other files are assumed to be
in uncompressed form already. If no files are given, xzmore reads from
standard input. See the more(1) manual for the keyboard commands.
Note that scrolling backwards might not be possible depending on the im-
plementation of more(1). This is because xzmore uses a pipe to pass the
decompressed data to more(1). xzless(1) uses less(1) which provides
more advanced features.
The command lzmore is provided for backward compatibility with LZMA
Utils. It is deprecated and will be removed in a future version.
ENVIRONMENT
PAGER If PAGER is set, its value is used as the pager instead of
more(1).
