zcat Top Level
zcat
zcat makes the compress or uncompress utilities write to the standard
output; no files are changed. zcat's nondestructive behavior is useful
for reviewing the content of a large, compressed file without having to
expand it to its original size, saving diskspace usage.
world% zcat filename.Z
This command is more useful if its output is directed through the more
program, so you may review its contents one page at a time:
world% zcat filename.Z | more
Alternatively, you could direct the output to a download command.
