XZLESS(1) XZ Utils XZLESS(1)
NAME
xzless, lzless - view xz or lzma compressed (text) files
SYNOPSIS
xzless [file...]
lzless [file...]
DESCRIPTION
xzless is a filter that displays text from compressed files to a terminal. It works on
files compressed with xz(1) or lzma(1). If no files are given, xzless reads from standard
input.
xzless uses less(1) to present its output. Unlike xzmore, its choice of pager cannot be
altered by setting an environment variable. Commands are based on both more(1) and vi(1)
and allow back and forth movement and searching. See the less(1) manual for more informa‐
tion.
The command named lzless is provided for backward compatibility with LZMA Utils.
ENVIRONMENT
LESSMETACHARS
A list of characters special to the shell. Set by xzless unless it is already set
in the environment.
LESSOPEN
Set to a command line to invoke the xz(1) decompressor for preprocessing the input
files to less(1).
