AUTHORS

This version of the zgrep utility was written by Thomas Klausner <Mt wiz@NetBSD.org>.

BUGS

zgrep(1) does not handle flags that take arguments if there is no whitespace between the flag and the argument, for example:

    zgrep -enfs /etc/rpc

When more than one -e flag is used matching should occur for any of the patterns (similar to multiple patterns supplied in a file with the -f flag). zgrep(1) only matches the last -e pattern.

“ Ken Thompson has an automobile which he helped design. Unlike most automobiles, it has neither speedometer, nor gas gauge, nor any of the other numerous idiot lights which plague the modern driver. Rather, if the driver makes a mistake, a giant “?” lights up in the center of the dashboard. “The experienced driver,” says Thompson, “will usually know what's wrong.” ”
