| .SH NAME | |
| xzless, lzless \- view xz or lzma compressed (text) files | |
| .SH SYNOPSIS | |
| .B xzless | |
| .RI [ file ...] | |
| .br | |
| .B lzless | |
| .RI [ file ...] | |
| .SH DESCRIPTION | |
| .B xzless | |
| is a filter that displays text from compressed files to a terminal. | |
| It works on files compressed with | |
| .BR xz (1) | |
| or | |
| .BR lzma (1). | |
| If no | |
| .I files | |
| are given, | |
| .B xzless | |
| reads from standard input. | |
| .PP | |
| .B xzless | |
| uses | |
| .BR less (1) | |
| to present its output. | |
| Unlike | |
| .BR xzmore , | |
| its choice of pager cannot be altered by | |
| setting an environment variable. | |
| Commands are based on both | |
| .BR more (1) | |
| and | |
| .BR vi (1) | |
| and allow back and forth movement and searching. | |
| See the | |
| .BR less (1) | |
| manual for more information. | |
| .PP | |
| The command named | |
| .B lzless | |
| is provided for backward compatibility with LZMA Utils. | |
