utility to search for a specific pattern within a compressed file. Here is a breakdown of the different components:
-

: This is the main command that is used to search within compressed files. It is similar to the regulargrep
command but is specifically designed to work with files compressed using thexz
compression algorithm. -
--${select}=${3}
: This part of the command is using a variable called${select}
to specify a search criterion. The value of${3}
is being passed as an argument to specify the specific selection criteria. The exact meaning of${select}
depends on how it is defined or set in the context of the command being used. -
"${search_pattern}"
: This is the pattern we are searching for within the compressed file. It is enclosed in double quotation marks. -
${filename}
: This is the name of the compressed file that is being searched. It is passed as an argument to tellxzgrep
which file to search.
In summary, this command is using xzgrep
to search for a specific pattern in a compressed file, using a certain selection criterion defined by ${select}
and a search pattern defined by ${search_pattern}
, in the file ${filename}
.
