Provided by: zstd_1.5.6+dfsg-1_amd64 bug

NAME
       zstdgrep - 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.
