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). 63 64SEE ALSO 65 egrep(1), unzip(1L), zip(1L), funzip(1L), zipcloak(1L), zip- 66 info(1L), zipnote(1L), zipsplit(1L) 67 68URL 69 The Info-ZIP home page is currently at http://www.info- 70 zip.org/pub/infozip/ or ftp://ftp.info-zip.org/pub/infozip/ . 71 72AUTHORS 73 zipgrep was written by Jean-loup Gailly. 74 75Info-ZIP 20 April 2009 ZIPGREP(1L) 76
