zgrep

The command "zgrep" is used to search for a pattern within a compressed file. Here is a breakdown of the command:

"zgrep" is a combination of two commands, "grep" and "zcat". It allows you to search for a specific pattern in a compressed file, without having to extract the file first.
"-i" is an option that makes the search case-insensitive. It means that the pattern will match regardless of whether it is in uppercase or lowercase.
"${pattern}" is a placeholder that should be replaced with the actual pattern you want to search for. It can be a word, a phrase, or a regular expression.
"${path-to-compressed-file}" is another placeholder that should be replaced with the actual path to the compressed file you want to search within.

Overall, the command "zgrep -i ${pattern} ${path-to-compressed-file}" allows you to search for a case-insensitive pattern within a compressed file.
