Compressing Files This manual is for Gzip (version 1.3.11, 5 February 2007), and documents commands for compressing and decompressing data.

A copy of the license is included in the section entitled “GNU Free Documentation License”. Overview overview gzip reduces the size of the named files using Lempel-Ziv coding (LZ77). Whenever possible, each file is replaced by one with the extension ‘.gz’, while keeping the same ownership modes, access and modification times. (The default extension is for VMS, ‘z’ for MSDOS, OS/2 FAT and Atari.) If no files are specified or if a file name is "-", the standard input is compressed to the standard output. gzip will only attempt to compress regular files. In particular, it will ignore symbolic links. If the new file name is too long for its file system, gzip truncates it. gzip attempts to truncate only the parts of the file name longer than 3 characters. (A part is delimited by dots.) If the name consists of small parts only, the longest parts are truncated. For example, if file names are limited to 14 characters, gzip.msdos.exe is compressed to gzi.msd.exe.gz. Names are not truncated on systems which do not have a limit on file name length. By default, gzip keeps the original file name and time stamp in the compressed file. These are used when decompressing the file with the option. This is useful when the compressed file name was truncated or when the time stamp was not preserved after a file transfer. However, due to limitations in the current gzip file format, fractional seconds are discarded. Also, time stamps must fall within the range 1970-01-01 00:00:00 through 2106-02-07 06:28:15 UTC, and hosts whose operating systems use 32-bit time stamps are further restricted to time stamps no later than 2038-01-19 03:14:07 UTC. The upper bounds assume the typical case where leap seconds are ignored. Compressed files can be restored to their original form using ‘gzip -d’ or gunzip or zcat. If the original name saved in the compressed file is not suitable for its file system, a new name is constructed from the original one to make it legal. gunzip takes a list of files on its command line and replaces each file whose name ends with ‘.gz’, ‘.z’, ‘.Z’, , or ‘_z’ and which begins with the correct magic number with an uncompressed file without the original extension. gunzip also recognizes the special extensions ‘.tgz’ and ‘.taz’ as shorthands for ‘.tar.gz’ and ‘.tar.Z’ respectively. When compressing, gzip uses the ‘.tgz’ extension if necessary instead of truncating a file with a ‘.tar’ extension. gunzip can currently decompress files created by gzip, zip, compress or pack. The detection of the input format is automatic. When using the first two formats, gunzip checks a 32 bit CRC (cyclic redundancy check). For pack, gunzip checks the uncompressed length. The compress format was not designed to allow consistency checks. However gunzip is sometimes able to detect a bad ‘.Z’ file. If you get an error when uncompressing a ‘.Z’ file, do not assume that the ‘.Z’ file is correct simply because the standard uncompress does not complain. This generally means that the standard uncompress does not check its input, and happily generates garbage output. The SCO ‘compress -H’ format (LZH compression method) does not include a CRC but also allows some consistency checks. Files created by zip can be uncompressed by gzip only if they have a single member compressed with the 'deflation' method. This feature is only intended to help conversion of tar.zip files to the tar.gz format. To extract a zip file with a single member, use a command like ‘gunzip <foo.zip’ or ‘gunzip -S .zip foo.zip’. To extract zip files with several members, use unzip instead of gunzip. zcat is identical to ‘gunzip -c’. zcat uncompresses either a list of files on the command line or its standard input and writes the uncompressed data on standard output. zcat will uncompress files that have the correct magic number whether they have a ‘.gz’ suffix or not. gzip uses the Lempel-Ziv algorithm used in zip and PKZIP. The amount of compression obtained depends on the size of the input and the distribution of common substrings. Typically, text such as source code or English is reduced by 60-70%. Compression is generally much better than that achieved by LZW (as used in compress), Huffman coding (as used in pack), or adaptive Huffman coding (compact). Compression is always performed, even if the compressed file is slightly larger than the original. The worst case expansion is a few bytes for the gzip file header, plus 5 bytes every 32K block, or an expansion ratio of 0.015% for large files. Note that the actual number of used disk blocks almost never increases. gzip normally preserves the mode, ownership and time stamps of files when compressing or decompressing. The gzip file format is specified in P. Deutsch, gzip file format specification version 4.3, Internet RFC 1952 (May 1996). The zip deflation format is specified in P. Deutsch, deflate Compressed Data Format Specification version 1.3, Internet RFC 1951 (May 1996). Sample Output sample Here are some realistic examples of running gzip. This is the output of the command ‘gzip -h’: Usage: gzip [OPTION]... [FILE]... Compress or uncompress FILEs (by default, compress FILES in-place). Mandatory arguments to long options are mandatory for short options too. -c, --stdout write on standard output, keep original files unchanged -d, --decompress decompress -f, --force force overwrite of output file and compress links -h, --help give this help -l, --list list compressed file contents -L, --license display software license -n, --no-name do not save or restore the original name and time stamp -N, --name save or restore the original name and time stamp -q, --quiet suppress all warnings -r, --recursive operate recursively on directories -S, --suffix=SUF use suffix SUF on compressed files -t, --test test compressed file integrity -v, --verbose verbose mode -V, --version display version number -1, --fast compress faster -9, --best compress better With no FILE, or when FILE is -, read standard input. Report bugs to <bug-gzip@gnu.org>. This is the output of the command ‘gzip -v texinfo.tex’: texinfo.tex: 69.3% -- replaced with texinfo.tex.gz The following command will find all regular ‘.gz’ files in the current directory and subdirectories (skipping file names that contain newlines), and extract them in place without destroying the original, stopping on the first failure: find . -name '* *' -prune -o -name '*.gz' -type f -print | sed " s/'/'\\''/g s/^\\(.*\\)\\.gz$/gunzip <'\\1.gz' >'\\1'/ " | sh -e Invoking gzip invoking options The format for running the gzip program is: gzip option … gzip supports the following options: Write output on standard output; keep original files unchanged.If there are several input files, the output consists of a sequence ofindependently compressed members. To obtain better compression,concatenate all input files before compressing them. Decompress. Force compression or decompression even if the file has multiple linksor the corresponding file already exists, or if the compressed datais read from or written to a terminal. If the input data is not ina format recognized by gzip, and if the option is alsogiven, copy the input data without change to the standard output: letzcat behave as cat. If is not given, andwhen not running in the background, gzip prompts to verifywhether an existing file should be overwritten. Print an informative help message describing the options then quit. For each compressed file, list the following fields: compressed size: size of the compressed file uncompressed size: size of the uncompressed file ratio: compression ratio (0.0% if unknown) uncompressed_name: name of the uncompressed file The uncompressed size is given as −1 for files not in gzipformat, such as compressed ‘.Z’ files. To get the uncompressed size forsuch a file, you can use: zcat file.Z | wc -c In combination with the option, the following fields are alsodisplayed: method: compression method (deflate,compress,lzh,pack) crc: the 32-bit CRC of the uncompressed data date & time: time stamp for the uncompressed file The CRC is given as ffffffff for a file not in gzip format.With , the size totals and compression ratio for all filesis also displayed, unless some sizes are unknown. With ,the title and totals lines are not displayed.The gzip format represents the input size modulo2^32, so the uncompressed size and compression ratio are listedincorrectly for uncompressed files 4 GiB and larger. To work aroundthis problem, you can use the following command to discover a largeuncompressed file's true size: zcat file.gz | wc -c Display the gzip license then quit. When compressing, do not save the original file name and time stamp bydefault. (The original name is always saved if the name had to betruncated.) When decompressing, do not restore the original file nameif present (remove only the gzipsuffix from the compressed file name) and do not restore the originaltime stamp if present (copy it from the compressed file). This optionis the default when decompressing. When compressing, always save the original file name and time stamp; thisis the default. When decompressing, restore the original file name andtime stamp if present. This option is useful on systems which havea limit on file name length or when the time stamp has been lost aftera file transfer. Suppress all warning messages. Travel the directory structure recursively. If any of the file namesspecified on the command line are directories, gzip will descendinto the directory and compress all the files it finds there (ordecompress them in the case of gunzip). Use suffix suf instead of ‘.gz’. Any suffix can begiven, but suffixes other than ‘.z’ and ‘.gz’ should beavoided to avoid confusion when files are transferred to other systems.A null suffix forces gunzip to try decompression on all given filesregardless of suffix, as in: gunzip -S "" * (*.* for MSDOS) Previous versions of gzip used the ‘.z’ suffix. This was changed toavoid a conflict with pack. Test. Check the compressed file integrity. Verbose. Display the name and percentage reduction for each file compressed. Version. Display the version number and compilation options, then quit. Regulate the speed of compression using the specified digit n,where or indicates the fastest compressionmethod (less compression) and or indicates theslowest compression method (optimal compression). The defaultcompression level is (that is, biased towards high compression atexpense of speed). Advanced usage concatenated files Multiple compressed files can be concatenated. In this case, gunzip will extract all members at once. If one member is damaged, other members might still be recovered after removal of the damaged member. Better compression can be usually obtained if all members are decompressed and then recompressed in a single step. This is an example of concatenating gzip files: gzip -c file1 > foo.gz gzip -c file2 >> foo.gz Then gunzip -c foo is equivalent to cat file1 file2 In case of damage to one member of a ‘.gz’ file, other members can still be recovered (if the damaged member is removed). However, you can get better compression by compressing all members at once: cat file1 file2 | gzip > foo.gz compresses better than gzip -c file1 file2 > foo.gz If you want to recompress concatenated files to get better compression, do: zcat old.gz | gzip > new.gz If a compressed file consists of several members, the uncompressed size and CRC reported by the option applies to the last member only. If you need the uncompressed size for all members, you can use: zcat file.gz | wc -c If you wish to create a single archive file with multiple members so that members can later be extracted independently, use an archiver such as tar or zip. GNU tar supports the option to invoke gzip transparently. gzip is designed as a complement to tar, not as a replacement. Environment Environment The environment variable GZIP can hold a set of default options for gzip. These options are interpreted first and can be overwritten by explicit command line parameters. For example: for sh: GZIP="-8v --name"; export GZIP for csh: setenv GZIP "-8v --name" for MSDOS: set GZIP=-8v --name On VMS, the name of the environment variable is GZIP_OPT, to avoid a conflict with the symbol set for invocation of the program. Using gzip on tapes tapes When writing compressed data to a tape, it is generally necessary to pad the output with zeroes up to a block boundary. When the data is read and the whole block is passed to gunzip for decompression, gunzip detects that there is extra trailing garbage after the compressed data and emits a warning by default if the garbage contains nonzero bytes. You have to use the option to suppress the warning. This option can be set in the GZIP environment variable, as in: for sh: GZIP="-q" tar -xfz --block-compress /dev/rst0 for csh: (setenv GZIP "-q"; tar -xfz --block-compress /dev/rst0) In the above example, gzip is invoked implicitly by the option of GNU tar. Make sure that the same block size ( option of tar) is used for reading and writing compressed data on tapes. (This example assumes you are using the GNU version of tar.) Reporting Bugs bugs If you find a bug in gzip, please send electronic mail to . Include the version number, which you can find by running ‘gzip -V’. Also include in your message the hardware and operating system, the compiler used to compile gzip, a description of the bug behavior, and the input to gzip that triggered the bug.

But this License is not limited to software manuals;it can be used for any textual work, regardless of subject matter orwhether it is published as a printed book. We recommend this Licenseprincipally for works whose purpose is instruction or reference.

Any member of the public is alicensee, and is addressed as “you”. You accept the license if youcopy, modify or distribute the work in a way requiring permissionunder copyright law.A “Modified Version” of the Document means any work containing theDocument or a portion of it, either copied verbatim, or withmodifications and/or translated into another language.A “Secondary Section” is a named appendix or a front-matter sectionof the Document that deals exclusively with the relationship of thepublishers or authors of the Document to the Document's overallsubject (or to related matters) and contains nothing that could falldirectly within that overall subject. (Thus, if the Document is inpart a textbook of mathematics, a Secondary Section may not explainany mathematics.) The relationship could be a matter of historicalconnection with the subject or with related matters, or of legal,commercial, philosophical, ethical or political position regardingthem.The “Invariant Sections” are certain Secondary Sections whose titlesare designated, as being those of Invariant Sections, in the noticethat says that the Document is released under this License. If asection does not fit the above definition of Secondary then it is notallowed to be designated as Invariant. The Document may contain zeroInvariant Sections. If the Document does not identify any InvariantSections then there are none.The “Cover Texts” are certain short passages of text that are listed,as Front-Cover Texts or Back-Cover Texts, in the notice that says thatthe Document is released under this License. A Front-Cover Text maybe at most 5 words, and a Back-Cover Text may be at most 25 words.A “Transparent” copy of the Document means a machine-readable copy,represented in a format whose specification is available to thegeneral public, that is suitable for revising the documentstraightforwardly with generic text editors or (for images composed ofpixels) generic paint programs or (for drawings) some widely availabledrawing editor, and that is suitable for input to text formatters orfor automatic translation to a variety of formats suitable for inputto text formatters. A copy made in an otherwise Transparent fileformat whose markup, or absence of markup, has been arranged to thwartor discourage subsequent modification by readers is not Transparent.An image format is not Transparent if used for any substantial amountof text. A copy that is not “Transparent” is called “Opaque”.Examples of suitable formats for Transparent copies include plainascii without markup, Texinfo input format, La&tex; inputformat, SGML or XML using a publicly availableDTD, and standard-conforming simple HTML,PostScript or PDF designed for human modification. Examplesof transparent image formats include PNG, XCF andJPG. Opaque formats include proprietary formats that can beread and edited only by proprietary word processors, SGML orXML for which the DTD and/or processing tools arenot generally available, and the machine-generated HTML,PostScript or PDF produced by some word processors foroutput purposes only.The “Title Page” means, for a printed book, the title page itself,plus such following pages as are needed to hold, legibly, the materialthis License requires to appear in the title page. For works informats which do not have any title page as such, “Title Page” meansthe text near the most prominent appearance of the work's title,preceding the beginning of the body of the text.A section “Entitled XYZ” means a named subunit of the Document whosetitle either is precisely XYZ or contains XYZ in parentheses followingtext that translates XYZ in another language. (Here XYZ stands for aspecific section name mentioned below, such as “Acknowledgements”,“Dedications”, “Endorsements”, or “History”.) To “Preserve the Title”of such a section when you modify the Document means that it remains asection “Entitled XYZ” according to this definition.The Document may include Warranty Disclaimers next to the notice whichstates that this License applies to the Document. These WarrantyDisclaimers are considered to be included by reference in thisLicense, but only as regards disclaiming warranties: any otherimplication that these Warranty Disclaimers may have is void and hasno effect on the meaning of this License. VERBATIM COPYINGYou may copy and distribute the Document in any medium, eithercommercially or noncommercially, provided that this License, thecopyright notices, and the license notice saying this License appliesto the Document are reproduced in all copies, and that you add no otherconditions whatsoever to those of this License. You may not usetechnical measures to obstruct or control the reading or furthercopying of the copies you make or distribute. However, you may acceptcompensation in exchange for copies. If you distribute a large enoughnumber of copies you must also follow the conditions in section 3.You may also lend copies, under the same conditions stated above, andyou may publicly display copies. COPYING IN QUANTITYIf you publish printed copies (or copies in media that commonly haveprinted covers) of the Document, numbering more than 100, and theDocument's license notice requires Cover Texts, you must enclose thecopies in covers that carry, clearly and legibly, all these CoverTexts: Front-Cover Texts on the front cover, and Back-Cover Texts onthe back cover. Both covers must also clearly and legibly identifyyou as the publisher of these copies. The front cover must presentthe full title with all words of the title equally prominent andvisible. You may add other material on the covers in addition.Copying with changes limited to the covers, as long as they preservethe title of the Document and satisfy these conditions, can be treatedas verbatim copying in other respects.If the required texts for either cover are too voluminous to fitlegibly, you should put the first ones listed (as many as fitreasonably) on the actual cover, and continue the rest onto adjacentpages.If you publish or distribute Opaque copies of the Document numberingmore than 100, you must either include a machine-readable Transparentcopy along with each Opaque copy, or state in or with each Opaque copya computer-network location from which the general network-usingpublic has access to download using public-standard network protocolsa complete Transparent copy of the Document, free of added material.If you use the latter option, you must take reasonably prudent steps,when you begin distribution of Opaque copies in quantity, to ensurethat this Transparent copy will remain thus accessible at the statedlocation until at least one year after the last time you distribute anOpaque copy (directly or through your agents or retailers) of thatedition to the public.It is requested, but not required, that you contact the authors of theDocument well before redistributing any large number of copies, to givethem a chance to provide you with an updated version of the Document. MODIFICATIONSYou may copy and distribute a Modified Version of the Document underthe conditions of sections 2 and 3 above, provided that you releasethe Modified Version under precisely this License, with the ModifiedVersion filling the role of the Document, thus licensing distributionand modification of the Modified Version to whoever possesses a copyof it. In addition, you must do these things in the Modified Version: Use in the Title Page (and on the covers, if any) a title distinctfrom that of the Document, and from those of previous versions(which should, if there were any, be listed in the History sectionof the Document). You may use the same title as a previous versionif the original publisher of that version gives permission. List on the Title Page, as authors, one or more persons or entitiesresponsible for authorship of the modifications in the ModifiedVersion, together with at least five of the principal authors of theDocument (all of its principal authors, if it has fewer than five),unless they release you from this requirement. State on the Title page the name of the publisher of theModified Version, as the publisher. Preserve all the copyright notices of the Document. Add an appropriate copyright notice for your modificationsadjacent to the other copyright notices. Include, immediately after the copyright notices, a license noticegiving the public permission to use the Modified Version under theterms of this License, in the form shown in the Addendum below. Preserve in that license notice the full lists of Invariant Sectionsand required Cover Texts given in the Document's license notice. Include an unaltered copy of this License. Preserve the section Entitled “History”, Preserve its Title, and addto it an item stating at least the title, year, new authors, andpublisher of the Modified Version as given on the Title Page. Ifthere is no section Entitled “History” in the Document, create onestating the title, year, authors, and publisher of the Document asgiven on its Title Page, then add an item describing the ModifiedVersion as stated in the previous sentence. Preserve the network location, if any, given in the Document forpublic access to a Transparent copy of the Document, and likewisethe network locations given in the Document for previous versionsit was based on. These may be placed in the “History” section.You may omit a network location for a work that was published atleast four years before the Document itself, or if the originalpublisher of the version it refers to gives permission. For any section Entitled “Acknowledgements” or “Dedications”, Preservethe Title of the section, and preserve in the section all thesubstance and tone of each of the contributor acknowledgements and/ordedications given therein. Preserve all the Invariant Sections of the Document,unaltered in their text and in their titles. Section numbersor the equivalent are not considered part of the section titles. Delete any section Entitled “Endorsements”. Such a sectionmay not be included in the Modified Version. Do not retitle any existing section to be Entitled “Endorsements” orto conflict in title with any Invariant Section. Preserve any Warranty Disclaimers. If the Modified Version includes new front-matter sections orappendices that qualify as Secondary Sections and contain no materialcopied from the Document, you may at your option designate some or allof these sections as invariant. To do this, add their titles to thelist of Invariant Sections in the Modified Version's license notice.These titles must be distinct from any other section titles.You may add a section Entitled “Endorsements”, provided it containsnothing but endorsements of your Modified Version by variousparties—for example, statements of peer review or that the text hasbeen approved by an organization as the authoritative definition of astandard.You may add a passage of up to five words as a Front-Cover Text, and apassage of up to 25 words as a Back-Cover Text, to the end of the listof Cover Texts in the Modified Version. Only one passage ofFront-Cover Text and one of Back-Cover Text may be added by (orthrough arrangements made by) any one entity. If the Document alreadyincludes a cover text for the same cover, previously added by you orby arrangement made by the same entity you are acting on behalf of,you may not add another; but you may replace the old one, on explicitpermission from the previous publisher that added the old one.The author(s) and publisher(s) of the Document do not by this Licensegive permission to use their names for publicity for or to assert orimply endorsement of any Modified Version. COMBINING DOCUMENTSYou may combine the Document with other documents released under thisLicense, under the terms defined in section 4 above for modifiedversions, provided that you include in the combination all of theInvariant Sections of all of the original documents, unmodified, andlist them all as Invariant Sections of your combined work in itslicense notice, and that you preserve all their Warranty Disclaimers.The combined work need only contain one copy of this License, andmultiple identical Invariant Sections may be replaced with a singlecopy. If there are multiple Invariant Sections with the same name butdifferent contents, make the title of each such section unique byadding at the end of it, in parentheses, the name of the originalauthor or publisher of that section if known, or else a unique number.Make the same adjustment to the section titles in the list ofInvariant Sections in the license notice of the combined work.In the combination, you must combine any sections Entitled “History”in the various original documents, forming one section Entitled“History”; likewise combine any sections Entitled “Acknowledgements”,and any sections Entitled “Dedications”. You must delete allsections Entitled “Endorsements.” COLLECTIONS OF DOCUMENTSYou may make a collection consisting of the Document and other documentsreleased under this License, and replace the individual copies of thisLicense in the various documents with a single copy that is included inthe collection, provided that you follow the rules of this License forverbatim copying of each of the documents in all other respects.You may extract a single document from such a collection, and distributeit individually under this License, provided you insert a copy of thisLicense into the extracted document, and follow this License in allother respects regarding verbatim copying of that document. AGGREGATION WITH INDEPENDENT WORKSA compilation of the Document or its derivatives with other separateand independent documents or works, in or on a volume of a storage ordistribution medium, is called an “aggregate” if the copyrightresulting from the compilation is not used to limit the legal rightsof the compilation's users beyond what the individual works permit.When the Document is included in an aggregate, this License does notapply to the other works in the aggregate which are not themselvesderivative works of the Document.If the Cover Text requirement of section 3 is applicable to thesecopies of the Document, then if the Document is less than one half ofthe entire aggregate, the Document's Cover Texts may be placed oncovers that bracket the Document within the aggregate, or theelectronic equivalent of covers if the Document is in electronic form.Otherwise they must appear on printed covers that bracket the wholeaggregate. TRANSLATIONTranslation is considered a kind of modification, so you maydistribute translations of the Document under the terms of section 4.Replacing Invariant Sections with translations requires specialpermission from their copyright holders, but you may includetranslations of some or all Invariant Sections in addition to theoriginal versions of these Invariant Sections. You may include atranslation of this License, and all the license notices in theDocument, and any Warranty Disclaimers, provided that you also includethe original English version of this License and the original versionsof those notices and disclaimers. In case of a disagreement betweenthe translation and the original version of this License or a noticeor disclaimer, the original version will prevail.If a section in the Document is Entitled “Acknowledgements”,“Dedications”, or “History”, the requirement (section 4) to Preserveits Title (section 1) will typically require changing the actualtitle. TERMINATIONYou may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Document exceptas expressly provided for under this License. Any other attempt tocopy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Document is void, and willautomatically terminate your rights under this License. However,parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under thisLicense will not have their licenses terminated so long as suchparties remain in full compliance. FUTURE REVISIONS OF THIS LICENSEThe Free Software Foundation may publish new, revised versionsof the GNU Free Documentation License from time to time. Such newversions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but maydiffer in detail to address new problems or concerns. Seehttp://www.gnu.org/copyleft/.Each version of the License is given a distinguishing version number.If the Document specifies that a particular numbered version of thisLicense “or any later version” applies to it, you have the option offollowing the terms and conditions either of that specified version orof any later version that has been published (not as a draft) by theFree Software Foundation. If the Document does not specify a versionnumber of this License, you may choose any version ever published (notas a draft) by the Free Software Foundation. ADDENDUM: How to use this License for your documents To use this License in a document you have written, include a copy of the License in the document and put the following copyright and license notices just after the title page: Copyright (C) year your name. Permission is granted to copy, distribute and/or modify this document under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.2 or any later version published by the Free Software Foundation; with no Invariant Sections, no Front-Cover Texts, and no Back-Cover Texts. A copy of the license is included in the section entitled ``GNU Free Documentation License''. If you have Invariant Sections, Front-Cover Texts and Back-Cover Texts, replace the “with...Texts.” line with this: with the Invariant Sections being list their titles, with the Front-Cover Texts being list, and with the Back-Cover Texts being list. If you have Invariant Sections without Cover Texts, or some other combination of the three, merge those two alternatives to suit the situation. If your document contains nontrivial examples of program code, we recommend releasing these examples in parallel under your choice of free software license, such as the GNU General Public License, to permit their use in free software. id="Concept-Index"> Concept Index B bugs, see C concatenated files, see E Environment, see F FDL, GNU Free Documentation License, see I invoking, see O options, see overview, see S sample, see T tapes, see
