XZMORE(1)                                                            XZ Utils                                                            XZMORE(1)

NAME

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

SYNOPSIS

       xzmore [file...]
       lzmore [file...]

DESCRIPTION

       xzmore is a filter which allows examination of xz(1) or lzma(1) compressed text files one screenful at a time on a soft-copy terminal.

       To use a pager other than the default more, set environment variable PAGER to the name of the desired program.  The name lzmore is provided
       for backward compatibility with LZMA Utils.

       e or q When the prompt --More--(Next file: file) is printed, this command causes xzmore to exit.

       s      When the prompt --More--(Next file: file) is printed, this command causes xzmore to skip the next file and continue.

       For list of keyboard commands supported while actually viewing the content of a file, refer  to  manual  of  the  pager  you  use,  usually
       more(1).
