gzip

Compress/uncompress files with gzip compression (LZ77)

  • compress a file, replacing it with a gzipped compressed version

`gzip {{file.ext}}

  • decompress a file, replacing it with the original uncomrpessed version

`gzip -d {{file.ext.gz}}

  • compress a file specifying the output filename

`gzip -c {{file.ext}} > compressed-file.ext.gz

  • uncompress a gzipped file specifying the output filename

`gzip -c -d {{file.ext.gz}} > uncompressed-file.ext

  • specify the compression level. 1=Fastest (Worst), 9=Slowest (Best), Default level is 6

gzip -9 -c {{file.ext}} > compressed-file.ext.gz
