xzmore

The "xzmore" command line tool is a utility for viewing the contents of compressed files in XZ format. It is similar to the "more" command used to view plain text files, but specifically designed for files compressed with the XZ compression algorithm. The tool operates by decompressing the XZ file on the fly and displaying its contents to the terminal. It allows users to navigate through the compressed file one page at a time, similar to other pager utilities. Users can scroll up and down, search for specific patterns, and interact with the contents of the compressed file. The "xzmore" tool provides a convenient way to inspect the contents of large compressed files without having to decompress them fully. It is particularly useful for examining log files, archives, and other types of compressed data where quick access to specific information is needed. The tool supports various options and commands to customize the viewing experience, such as adjusting the output format, setting the page size, and more. "Xzmore" is a part of the XZ Utilities package, which provides several command line tools for working with XZ compressed files. It is often included in Linux distributions and can be used on the command line or within shell scripts.
