| 20 .B xzless |
| 21 is a filter that displays text from compressed files to a terminal. |
| 22 It works on files compressed with |
| 23 .BR xz (1) |
| 24 or |
| 25 .BR lzma (1). |

| 28 are given, |

| 30 reads from standard input. |
| 31 .PP |
| 32 .B xzless |
| 33 uses |
| 34 .BR less (1) |
| 35 to present its output. Unlike |
| 36 .BR xzmore , |
| 37 its choice of pager cannot be altered by setting an environment variable. |
| 38 Commands are based on both |
| 39 .BR more (1) |
| 40 and |
| 41 .BR vi (1) |
| 42 and allow back and forth movement and searching. |
| 43 See the |
| 44 .BR less (1) |
