bzgrep
bzgrep is a command line tool used to search for patterns or specific text within compressed files that have been created using the bzip2 compression algorithm. It is an extension of the standard Unix grep tool, designed specifically for working with bzip2 compressed data.
To use bzgrep, you specify the pattern you are searching for and the compressed file you want to search within as command line arguments. bzgrep then decompresses and searches the file, displaying any matching lines. It supports regular expressions and works similarly to grep, providing options for case-insensitive searches, displaying line numbers, and more.
bzgrep is particularly useful when working with large compressed files, as it allows you to search within them without having to first decompress the entire file. It saves time and disk space by only decompressing and processing the necessary parts of the file based on the search pattern provided.
Overall, bzgrep is a powerful tool for searching within bzip2 compressed files efficiently and easily from the command line.
