It takes a single -file and compresses it. The basic usage is as follows:</p> - -<table border="0" bgcolor="#E0E0E0" width="100%"> -<tr> -<td> -<pre class="SCREEN"> -<samp class="PROMPT">%</samp> <kbd class="USERINPUT">gzip <var -class="REPLACEABLE">filename</var></kbd> -</pre> -</td> -</tr> -</table> - -<p>The resulting file will be named <tt class="FILENAME"><var -class="REPLACEABLE">filename</var>.gz</tt> and will usually be smaller than the input -file. Note that <tt class="FILENAME">filename.gz</tt> will replace <tt -class="FILENAME">filename</tt>. This means that <tt class="FILENAME">filename</tt> will -no longer exist, even though a gzipped copy will. Regular text files will compress -nicely, while jpeg images, mp3s, and other such files will not compress too well as they -are already compressed. This basic usage is a balance of final file size and compression -time. The maximum compression can be achieved like so:</p> - -<table border="0" bgcolor="#E0E0E0" width="100%"> -<tr> -<td> -<pre class="SCREEN"> -<samp class="PROMPT">%</samp> <kbd class="USERINPUT">gzip -9 <var -class="REPLACEABLE">filename</var></kbd> -</pre> -</td> -</tr> -</table> - -<p>This will take a longer time to compress the file, but the result will be as small as -<tt class="COMMAND">gzip</tt> can make it. Using lower values for the command line option -will cause it to compress faster, but the file will not be as compressed.</p> - -<p>Decompressing gzipped files can be done using two commands, which are really just the -same program. <tt class="COMMAND">gzip</tt> will decompress any file with a recognized -file extension. A recognized extension can be any of the following: <tt -class="FILENAME">.gz</tt>, <tt class="FILENAME">-gz</tt>, <tt class="FILENAME">.z</tt>, -<tt class="FILENAME">-z</tt>, <tt class="FILENAME">.Z</tt>, or <tt -class="FILENAME">-Z</tt>. The first method is to call <tt class="COMMAND">gunzip</tt>(1) -on a file, like so:</p> - -<table border="0" bgcolor="#E0E0E0" width="100%"> -<tr> -<td> -<pre class="SCREEN"> -<samp class="PROMPT">%</samp> <kbd class="USERINPUT">gunzip <var -class="REPLACEABLE">filename.gz</var></kbd> -</pre> -</td> -</tr> -</table> - -<p>This will leave a decompressed version of infile in the current directory, and the <tt -class="FILENAME">.gz</tt> extension will be stripped from the filename. <tt -class="COMMAND">gunzip</tt> is really part of <tt class="COMMAND">gzip</tt> and is -identical to <tt class="COMMAND">gzip -d</tt>. As such, <tt class="COMMAND">gzip</tt> is -often pronounced <tt class="COMMAND">gunzip</tt>, as that name just sounds cooler. -:^)</p> -</div> -</div> - -<div class="NAVFOOTER"> -<hr align="LEFT" width="100%" /> -<table summary="Footer navigation table" width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="0" -cellspacing="0"> -<tr> -<td width="33%" align="left" valign="top"><a href="security-current.html" -accesskey="P">Prev</a></td> -<td width="34%" align="center" valign="top"><a href="index.html" -accesskey="H">Home</a></td> -<td width="33%" align="right" valign="top"><a href="archive-files-bzip2.html" -accesskey="N">Next</a></td> -</tr> - -<tr> -<td width="33%" align="left" valign="top">Keeping Current</td> -<td width="34%" align="center" valign="top"> </td> -<td width="33%" align="right" valign="top"><tt class="COMMAND">bzip2</tt></td> -</tr> -</table> -</div> -</body> -</html> - |
