| If |
| .B lzgrep |
| is invoked as |
| .B lzegrep |
| or |
| .B lzfgrep |
| then |
| .B egrep |
| or |
| .B fgrep |
| is used instead of |
| .B grep. |
| If the GREP environment variable is set, |
| .B lzgrep |
| uses it as the |
| .B grep |
| program to be invoked. For example: |
| |
| for sh: GREP=fgrep lzgrep string files |
| for csh: (setenv GREP fgrep; lzgrep string files) |
