xzmore, lzmore - view xz or lzma compressed (text) files

xzmore [/file/…]
lzmore [/file/…]

xzmore displays text from compressed files to a terminal using *more*(1). Files supported by *xz*(1) are decompressed; other files are assumed to be in uncompressed form already. If no files are given, xzmore reads from standard input. See the *more*(1) manual for the keyboard commands.

Note that scrolling backwards might not be possible depending on the implementation of more*(1). This is because *xzmore uses a pipe to pass the decompressed data to *more*(1). *xzless*(1) uses *less*(1) which provides more advanced features.

The command lzmore is provided for backward compatibility with LZMA Utils.

PAGER

If PAGER is set, its value is used as the pager instead of *more*(1).
