+.SH NAME
+zcat \- expand and concatenate data
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.LP
+\fBzcat\fP \fB[\fP\fIfile\fP\fB...\fP\fB]\fP\fB\fP
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.LP
+The \fIzcat\fP utility shall write to standard output the uncompressed
+form of files that have been compressed using the \fIcompress\fP utility.
+It is the equivalent of \fIuncompress\fP \fB-c\fP. Input files are
+not affected.
+.SH OPTIONS
+.LP
+None.
+.SH OPERANDS
+.LP
+The following operand shall be supported:
+.TP 7
+\fIfile\fP
+The pathname of a file previously processed by the \fIcompress\fP
+utility. If
+\fIfile\fP already has the \fB.Z\fP suffix specified, it is used as
+submitted. Otherwise, the \fB.Z\fP suffix is appended to the
+filename prior to processing.
+.sp
+.SH STDIN
+.LP
+The standard input shall be used only if no \fIfile\fP operands are
+specified, or if a \fIfile\fP operand is \fB'-'\fP
+\&.
+.SH INPUT FILES
+.LP
+Input files shall be compressed files that are in the format produced
+by the \fIcompress\fP utility.
+.SH ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
+.LP
+The following environment variables shall affect the execution of
+\fIzcat\fP:
+.TP 7
+\fILANG\fP
+Provide a default value for the internationalization variables that
+are unset or null. (See the Base Definitions volume of
+IEEE\ Std\ 1003.1-2001, Section 8.2, Internationalization Variables
+for
+the precedence of internationalization variables used to determine
+the values of locale categories.)
+.TP 7
+\fILC_ALL\fP
+If set to a non-empty string value, override the values of all the
+other internationalization variables.
+.TP 7
+\fILC_CTYPE\fP
+Determine the locale for the interpretation of sequences of bytes
+of text data as characters (for example, single-byte as
+opposed to multi-byte characters in arguments).
+.TP 7
+\fILC_MESSAGES\fP
+Determine the locale that should be used to affect the format and
+contents of diagnostic messages written to standard
+error.
+.TP 7
+\fINLSPATH\fP
+Determine the location of message catalogs for the processing of \fILC_MESSAGES
+\&.\fP
+.sp
+.SH ASYNCHRONOUS EVENTS
+.LP
+Default.
+.SH STDOUT
+.LP
+The compressed files given as input shall be written on standard output
+in their uncompressed form.
+.SH STDERR
+.LP
+The standard error shall be used only for diagnostic messages.
+.SH OUTPUT FILES
+.LP
+None.
+.SH EXTENDED DESCRIPTION
+.LP
+None.
+.SH EXIT STATUS
+.LP
+The following exit values shall be returned:
+.TP 7
+\ 0
+Successful completion.
+.TP 7
+>0
+An error occurred.
+.sp
+.SH CONSEQUENCES OF ERRORS
+.LP
+Default.
