SYNOPSIS

`zstdgrep` [*grep-flags*] [--] _pattern_ [_files_ ...]
`zstdgrep` [<grep-flags>] [--] <pattern> [<files> ...]
DESCRIPTION
-----------
`zstdgrep` runs `grep (1)` on files, or `stdin` if no files argument is given, after decompressing them with `zstdcat (1)`.
`zstdgrep` runs `grep`(1) on files, or `stdin` if no files argument is given, after decompressing them with `zstdcat`(1).
The grep-flags and pattern arguments are passed on to `grep (1)`. If an `-e` flag is found in the `grep-flags`, `zstdgrep` will not look for a pattern argument.
The <grep-flags> and <pattern> arguments are passed on to `grep`(1). If an `-e` flag is found in the <grep-flags>, `zstdgrep` will not look for a <pattern> argument.
Note that modern `grep` alternatives such as `ripgrep` (`rg`) support `zstd`-compressed files out of the box,
Note that modern `grep` alternatives such as `ripgrep` (`rg`(1)) support `zstd`-compressed files out of the box,
and can prove better alternatives than `zstdgrep` notably for unsupported complex pattern searches.
Note though that such alternatives may also feature some minor command line differences.
