10DESCRIPTION
11       zipgrep will search files within a ZIP archive for lines  matching  the
12       given  string  or  pattern.   zipgrep  is  a  shell script and requires
13       egrep(1) and unzip(1L) to function.  Its output is identical to that of
14       egrep(1).
15
16ARGUMENTS
17       pattern
18              The  pattern  to  be  located  within a ZIP archive.  Any
19              string or regular expression accepted by egrep(1) may  be
20              used.   file[.zip]  Path  of  the ZIP archive.  (Wildcard
21              expressions for the ZIP archive name are not  supported.)
22              If  the literal filename is not found, the suffix .zip is
23              appended.  Note that self-extracting ZIP files  are  sup-
24              ported,  as  with any other ZIP archive; just specify the
25              .exe suffix (if any) explicitly.
26
27       [file(s)]
28              An optional list of archive members to be processed, sep-
29              arated  by spaces.  If no member files are specified, all
30              members of the ZIP archive are searched.  Regular expres-
31              sions (wildcards) may be used to match multiple members:
32
33              *      matches a sequence of 0 or more characters
34
35              ?      matches exactly 1 character
36
37              [...]  matches  any  single  character  found  inside the
38                     brackets; ranges  are  specified  by  a  beginning
39                     character,  a hyphen, and an ending character.  If
40                     an exclamation point or a caret (`!' or `^')  fol-
41                     lows  the  left bracket, then the range of charac-
42                     ters within the brackets is complemented (that is,
43                     anything except the characters inside the brackets
44                     is considered a match).
45
46              (Be sure to quote any character that might  otherwise  be
47              interpreted or modified by the operating system.)
48
49       [-x xfile(s)]
50              An  optional  list of archive members to be excluded from
51              processing.  Since wildcard  characters  match  directory
52              separators  (`/'), this option may be used to exclude any
53              files that are in subdirectories.  For example, ``zipgrep
54              grumpy  foo  *.[ch]  -x */*'' would search for the string
55              ``grumpy'' in all C source files in the main directory of
56              the  ``foo''  archive,  but  none  in any subdirectories.
57              Without the -x option, all C source files in all directo-
58              ries within the zipfile would be searched.
59
60OPTIONS
61       All  options  prior  to  the  ZIP archive filename are passed to
62       egrep(1).
