zcat - decompress and concatenate files to standard output
zcat [options] [files]
Zcat copies each given file to standard output. If any given file is compressed, its decompressed content is used. If a given file does not exist, and its name does not end with one of the known extensions, zcat tries the compressed file names corresponding to the formats supported.
If a file is specified as '-', data are read from standard input, decompressed if needed, and sent to standard output. Data read from standard input must be of the same type; all uncompressed or all in the same compression format.
If no files are specified, recursive searches examine the current working directory, and nonrecursive searches read standard input.
The formats supported are bzip2, gzip, lzip and xz.
Exit status is 0 if no errors occurred, non-zero otherwise.
