Lots of content was updated on the xz man page. Technical improvements: - Start a new sentence on a new line. - Use fairly short lines. - Use constant-width font for examples (where supported). - Some minor cleanups. Thanks to Jonathan Nieder for some language fixes.

.SH NAME

.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.B xzless
|
|
is a filter that displays text from compressed files to a terminal.
|
|
It works on files compressed with
|
|
.BR xz (1)
|
|
or
|
|
.BR lzma (1).
|
|
If no
|
|
.I files
|
|
are given,
|
|
.B xzless
|
|
reads from standard input.
|
|
.PP
|
|
.B xzless
|
|
uses
|
|
.BR less (1)
|
|
to present its output.
|
|
Unlike
|
|
.BR xzmore ,
|
|
its choice of pager cannot be altered by
|
|
setting an environment variable.
|
|
Commands are based on both
|
|
.BR more (1)
|
|
and
|
|
.BR vi (1)
|
|
and allow back and forth movement and searching.
|
|
See the
|
|
.BR less (1)
|
|
manual for more information.
|
|
.PP
|
|
The command named
|
|
.B lzless
|
|
is provided for backward compatibility with LZMA Utils.
