Gzip

Gzip: compress files

gzip (GNU zip) is a compression utility designed to be a replacement for compress. Its main advantages over compress are much better compression and freedom from patented algorithms. Utility http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/gzip.htm gunzip

gzexe

Rename each FILE with a compressed version of itself, renaming FILE to FILE~.

The gzexe utility allows you to compress executables in place and have them automatically uncompress and execute when you run them (at a penalty in performance). For example if you execute ``gzexe /usr/bin/gdb'' it will create the following two files: -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1026675 Jun 7 13:53 /usr/bin/gdb -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 2304524 May 30 13:02 /usr/bin/gdb~ /usr/bin/gdb~ is the original file and /usr/bin/gdb is the self-uncompressing executable file. You can remove /usr/bin/gdb~ once you are sure that /usr/bin/gdb works properly. This utility is most useful on systems with very small disks. uncompress

zcmp

Compare FILE1 to FILE2, using their uncompressed contents if they are

Usage: $0 [OPTION]... FILE1 [FILE2] If FILE2 is omitted, compare FILE1 to the uncompressed contents of FILE1.gz. Do comparisons like cmp does. OPTIONs are the same as for cmp zdiff

Compare FILE1 to FILE2, using their uncompressed contents if they are

Usage: $0 [OPTION]... FILE1 [FILE2] If FILE2 is omitted, compare FILE1 to the uncompressed contents of FILE1.gz. Do comparisons like diff does. OPTIONs are the same as for diff zegrep

Look for instances of PATTERN in the input FILEs, using their

Usage: $0 [OPTION]... [-e] PATTERN [FILE]... OPTIONs are the same as for 'grep'. zfgrep

Look for instances of PATTERN in the input FILEs, using their

Usage: $0 [OPTION]... [-e] PATTERN [FILE]... OPTIONs are the same as for 'grep'. zgrep

Look for instances of PATTERN in the input FILEs, using their

Usage: $0 [OPTION]... [-e] PATTERN [FILE]... OPTIONs are the same as for 'grep'. zforce

Force a .gz extension on all compressed FILEs so that gzip will

Usage: $0 [FILE]... zless

Like 'less', but operate on the uncompressed contents of any compressed FILEs.

Usage: $0 [OPTION]... [FILE]... Options are the same as for 'less'. zmore

Like 'more', but operate on the uncompressed contents of any compressed FILEs.

Usage: $0 [OPTION]... [FILE]... znew

Recompress files from .Z (compress) format to .gz (gzip) format.

Usage: $0 [OPTION]... [FILE]... Options: -f Force recompression even if a .gz file already exists. -t Test the new files before deleting originals. -v Verbose; display name and statistics for each file compressed. -9 Use the slowest compression method (optimal compression). -P Use pipes for the conversion to reduce disk space usage. -K Keep a .Z file when it is smaller than the .gz file. --help display this help and exit --version output version information and exit
