LINUX CLASSES - COMPRESSION, ENCODING AND ENCRYPTION The zmore and zless Commands
The zmore command is a handy utility that lets you view gzipped files one screen at a time (much like the more command)
without first decompressing them.
Zmore and Zless - How Do They Work?
The zmore command pauses after each screenful, printing --More-- at the bottom of the screen.
You can press ENTER to display one more line, or press the spacebar, to view the next screen of data.
The zless command works the same way, except the decompressed output is displayed by the less command for additional viewing flexibility.
Keep in mind that zmore and zless do not modify the input file.
