How do I view file?

I am trying to view the files in /etc/security/audit/SERVERNAME/files, but when I gunzip them and then do a cat I get a bunch of garbage with some stuff that makes sense. I need to view this file without having all the garbage. I tried to cat it and vi it without any luck. Can someone show me an easy command to view these files while also uncompressing them at the same time? That would be cool.

NAME
xfmmailcap - show mailcap information as parsed by xfm SYNOPSIS
xfmmailcap --help xfmmailcap mime-type [(default|all|edit|view) [filename]] DESCRIPTION
xfmmailcap parses the xfm(1)'s mailcap file (see xfm_mailcap(5) for its format) and prints information about what command xfm would use when told to open a file of the given mime-type. If there is no second argument, the default it default. If there is a third argument, xfmmailcap will insert this filename into the action. (This is not yet implemented) ACTIONS
all Show all information collected about this mime-type. default Show the action xfm(1) would start when confronted with this action, together with all debug output xfm would show when the echoMimeSearch resource represents True. It first tries everything the edit action would show and if nothing is found there, then it tries the view action. edit Find the best (in the sense of highest priority) command to edit this mime type. view Find the best (in the sense of highest priority) command to view this mime type. (There is yet no way to trigger that from within xfm). CAVEAT
xfmmailcap has the paths $HOME/.xfm/xfm_mailcap and /etc/X11/xfm/xfm_mailcap built in statically. This differs from xfm(1), where all of these can be changed by means of X resources. FILES
$HOME/.xfm/xfm_mailcap If this file exists, it is read and its content used as mailcap database. See xfm_mailcap(5) for its format. /etc/X11/xfm/xfm_mailcap If the previous file is not found, this one is used instead. Same format. SEE ALSO
xfm(1), xfm_mailcap(5). COPYRIGHT
