The main reason is a kind of silly one:
xz-man.pot contains strings from all man pages in XZ Utils.
The man pages of xzdiff, xzgrep, and xzmore were under GPLv2
and the rest under 0BSD. Thus xz-man.pot contained strings
under two licences. po4a creates the translated man pages
from the combined 0BSD+GPLv2 xz-man.pot.
I haven't liked this mixing in xz-man.pot but the
Translation Project requires that all man pages must be
in the same .pot file. So a separate xz-man-gpl.pot
wasn't an option.
Since these man pages are short, rewriting them was quick enough.
Now xz-man.pot is entirely under 0BSD and marking the per-file
licenses is simpler.
As a bonus, some wording hopefully is now slightly better
although it's perhaps a matter of taste.
NOTE: In xzgrep.1, the EXIT STATUS section was written by me
in the commit d796b6d7fd so that's
why that section could be taken as is from the old xzgrep.1.

.SH NAME

xzmore, lzmore \- view xz or lzma compressed (text) files

.SH SYNOPSIS
|

.B xzmore

.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.B xzmore
|
|
displays text from compressed files to a terminal using
|
|
.BR more (1).
|
|
Files supported by
|
|
.BR xz (1)
|
|
are decompressed;
|
|
other files are assumed to be in uncompressed form already.
|
|
If no
|
|
.I files
|
|
are given,
|
|
.B xzmore
|
|
reads from standard input.
|
|
See the
|
|
.BR more (1)
|
|
manual for the keyboard commands.
|
|
.PP
|
|
Note that scrolling backwards might not be possible
|
|
depending on the implementation of
|
|
.BR more (1).
|
|
This is because
|
|
.B xzmore
|
|
uses a pipe to pass the decompressed data to
|
|
.BR more (1).
|
|
.BR xzless (1)
|
|
uses
|
|
.BR less (1)
|
|
which provides more advanced features.
|
|
.PP
|
|
The command
|
|
.B lzmore
|
|
is provided for backward compatibility with LZMA Utils.
