$grep "hello" test1 #works as expected

$grep "goodbye" test1 #works as expected$echo $?1
$grep "hello" * #works as expected. gets line from test1 and returns

$grep "goodbye" * #works as expected. gets lines from test2, 3, and 4 and
returns 0test2:goodbyetest3:goodbyetest4:goodbye$echo $?0
despite stating zgrep works the same as grep, the return codes over multiple
files are different
$zgrep "hello" test1 #works as expected
hello$echo $?0
$zgrep "goodbye" test1 #works as expected$echo $?1
$zgrep "hello" * #does NOT work as expected. gets line from test1 and
returns 1. grep states that if ANY line is found, 0 will be returned
test1:hello$echo $?1
$zgrep "goodbye" * #does NOT work as expected. gets lines from test2, 3, and
4 and returns 1. grep states that if ANY line is found, 0 will be returned
test2:goodbyetest3:goodbyetest4:goodbye$echo $?1
$zgrep "goodbye" test2 test3 test4 #works as expected. finds pattern in all
files and returns 0. bug only occurs if files exist where the pattern is not
foundtest2:goodbyetest3:goodbyetest4:goodbye$echo $?0
