|
|
|
The
|
|
|
|
|
.Nm
|
|
|
|
|
utility is a minimal implementation of the
|
1998-01-05 07:14:54 +00:00
|
|
|
.Xr gzip 1
|
|
|
|
|
utility. It supports
|
1997-12-13 09:57:48 +00:00
|
|
|
compression and decompression of individual files, as well as
|
|
|
|
|
streaming compression and decompression via standard input and
|
|
|
|
|
output.
|

The default operation is compression, decompression can be
|
1997-12-13 09:57:48 +00:00
|
|
|
selected by supplying the
|
|
|
|

flag on the commandline.

|
|
|
|
|
.Ar file
|
2001-07-15 08:06:20 +00:00
|
|
|
arguments are supplied, the operation is performed on each file
|
1997-12-13 09:57:48 +00:00
|
|
|
separately. Compression replaces the original file with one having a
|
|
|
|
|
.Pa .gz
|
|
|
|
|
suffix. Decompression will remove a
|
|
|
|
|
.Pa .gz
|
|
|
|
|
suffix if one is present.
