Zutils is a collection of utilities able to deal with any combination of 
compressed and non-compressed files transparently. If any given file, 
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 "--recursive" option is very efficient in 
those utilities supporting it.

The provided utilities are zcat, zcmp, zdiff, zgrep and ztest.
The supported formats are bzip2, gzip, lzip and xz.

Zcat, zcmp, zdiff and zgrep are improved replacements for the shell 
scripts provided with GNU gzip. Ztest is unique to zutils.

Changes in this version:

  * Decompressors are now invoked without the "-q" option except if 
explicitly requested, as some simplified implementations do not accept it.


This version is also available in lzip format. In the improbable case 
that lzip is not packaged in your distro, you can download it from 
http://www.nongnu.org/lzip/lzip.html

Antonio Diaz, zutils author and maintainer.
