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 information.
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).
