Please, test it and report any bugs you find.
Zutils is a collection of utilities able to process any combination of
compressed and uncompressed files transparently. If any file given,
including standard input, is compressed, its decompressed content is used.
Compressed files are decompressed on the fly; no temporary files are created.
These utilities are not wrapper scripts but safer and more efficient C++
programs. In particular the option "--recursive" is very efficient in those
utilities supporting it.
The utilities provided are zcat, zcmp, zdiff, zgrep, ztest, and zupdate.
The formats supported are bzip2, gzip, lzip, xz, and zstd.
Zutils uses external compressors. The compressor to be used for each format
is configurable at runtime.
zcat, zcmp, zdiff, and zgrep are improved replacements for the shell scripts
provided by GNU gzip. ztest is unique to zutils. zupdate is similar to
gzip's znew.
The homepage is at http://www.nongnu.org/zutils/zutils.html
Changes in this version:
* zgrep now also accepts the following options: '-G, --basic-regexp',
'--label=<label>', '--line-buffered', '-P, --perl-regexp', '--silent', '-T,
--initial-tab', and '-U, --binary'. (Reported by Chris Jamboretz).
Regards,
Antonio Diaz, zutils author and maintainer.

If you care about data safety and long-term archiving, please consider using
lzip. See http://www.nongnu.org/lzip/lzip_benchmark.html
