GZIP(1)                     General Commands Manual                    GZIP(1)

NAME
       gzip, gunzip, gzcat - compress or expand files

SYNOPSIS
       gzip [ -acdfhklLnNrtvV19 ] [-S suffix] [ name ...  ]
       gunzip [ -acfhklLnNrtvV ] [-S suffix] [ name ...  ]
       gzcat [ -fhLV ] [ name ...  ]

DESCRIPTION
       The  gzip  command 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 z for MSDOS,  OS/2  FAT,
       Windows  NT  FAT  and  Atari.)  If no files are specified, or if a file
       name is "-", the standard input is compressed to the  standard  output.
       The  gzip command will only attempt to compress regular files.  In par‐
       ticular, it will ignore symbolic links.

       If the compressed file name is too long for its file system, gzip trun‐
       cates it.  The gzip command 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 timestamp in the com‐
       pressed  file.   These are used when decompressing the file with the -N
       option.  This is useful when the compressed file name was truncated  or
       when the timestamp was not preserved after a file transfer.

       Compressed  files  can be restored to their original form using gzip -d
       or gunzip or gzcat.  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 valid.

       gunzip takes a list of files on its command line and replaces each file
       whose  name ends with .gz, -gz, .z, -z, or _z (ignoring case) 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 trun‐
       cating a file with a .tar extension.

       gunzip  can  currently decompress files created by gzip, zip, compress,
       compress -H or pack.  The detection of the input format  is  automatic.
       When using the first two formats, gunzip checks a 32 bit CRC.  For pack
       and  gunzip checks the uncompressed length.  The standard compress for‐
       mat was not designed to allow consistency checks.   However  gunzip  is
       sometimes  able  to detect a bad .Z file.  If you get an error when un‐
       compressing 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 hap‐
       pily generates garbage output.  The SCO compress -H  format  (lzh  com‐
       pression  method)  does  not include a CRC but also allows some consis‐
       tency 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 sev‐
       eral members, use unzip instead of gunzip.

       The gzcat command is identical to gunzip -c.  (On some  systems,  gzcat
       may  be installed as ggzcat to preserve the original link to compress.)
       gzcat uncompresses either a list of files on the command  line  or  its
       standard  input  and  writes  the uncompressed data on standard output.
       gzcat will uncompress files that have the correct magic number  whether
       they have a .gz suffix or not.

       The  gzip  command 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 per 32 KiB block, or an
       expansion ratio of 0.015% for large files.  The actual number  of  used
       disk blocks almost never increases.

       gzip  normally  preserves the mode and modification timestamp of a file
       when compressing or decompressing.  If you have appropriate privileges,
       it also preserves the file's owner and group.

OPTIONS
       -a --ascii
              Ascii text mode: convert end-of-lines using  local  conventions.
              This option is supported only on some non-Unix systems.  For MS‐
              DOS,  CR  LF is converted to LF when compressing, and LF is con‐
              verted to CR LF when decompressing.

       -c --stdout --to-stdout
              Write output on standard output; keep original files  unchanged.
              If  there  are several input files, the output consists of a se‐
              quence of independently compressed members.   To  obtain  better
              compression,  concatenate  all  input  files  before compressing
              them.

       -d --decompress --uncompress
              Decompress.

       -f --force
              Force compression or decompression even if the file has multiple
              links or the corresponding file already exists, or if  the  com‐
              pressed  data is read from or written to a terminal.  If the in‐
              put data is not in a format recognized by gzip, and if  the  op‐
              tion  --stdout is also given, copy the input data without change
              to the standard output: let gzcat behave as cat.  If -f  is  not
              given,  and  when not running in the background, gzip prompts to
              verify whether an existing file should be overwritten.

       -h --help
              Display a help screen and quit.

       -k --keep
              Keep (don't delete) input files during compression or decompres‐
              sion.

       -l --list
              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 gzip  for‐
              mat,  such as compressed .Z files.  To get the uncompressed size
              for such a file, you can use:

                  gzcat file.Z | wc -c

              In combination with the --verbose option, the  following  fields
              are also displayed:

                  method: compression method
                  crc: the 32-bit CRC of the uncompressed data
                  date & time: timestamp for the uncompressed file

              The  compression  methods  currently supported are deflate, com‐
              press, lzh (SCO compress -H) and pack.   The  crc  is  given  as
              ffffffff for a file not in gzip format.

              With  --name,  the  uncompressed name,  date and time  are those
              stored within the compress file if present.

              With --verbose, the size totals and compression  ratio  for  all
              files  is  also  displayed, unless some sizes are unknown.  With
              --quiet, the title and totals lines are not displayed.

       -L --license
              Display the gzip license and quit.

       -n --no-name
              When compressing, do not save the original file name  and  time‐
              stamp  by  default.   (The  original name is always saved if the
              name had to be truncated.)  When decompressing, do  not  restore
              the  original  file name if present (remove only the gzip suffix
              from the compressed file name) and do not restore  the  original
              timestamp  if  present (copy it from the compressed file).  This
              option is the default when decompressing.

       -N --name
              When compressing, always save the original file name,  and  save
              the  seconds  part of the original modification timestamp if the
              original is a regular file and  its  timestamp  is  at  least  1
              (1970-01-01  00:00:01  UTC)  and  is less than 2**32 (2106-02-07
              06:28:16 UTC, assuming leap seconds are not  counted);  this  is
              the  default.   When  decompressing, restore from the saved file
              name and timestamp if present.  This option is useful on systems
              which have a limit on file name length or when the timestamp has
              been lost after a file transfer.

       -q --quiet
              Suppress all warnings.

       -r --recursive
              Travel the directory structure recursively.  If any of the  file
              names  specified  on the command line are directories, gzip will
              descend into the directory and compress all the files  it  finds
              there (or decompress them in the case of gunzip ).

       -S .suf --suffix .suf
              When  compressing, use suffix .suf instead of .gz.  Although any
              non-empty suffix can be given so long as  it  does  not  contain
              "/",  suffixes  other than .z and .gz should be avoided to avoid
              confusion when files are transferred to other systems.

              When decompressing, add .suf to the beginning  of  the  list  of
              suffixes to try, when deriving an output file name from an input
              file name.

       --synchronous
              Use  synchronous  output.  With this option, gzip is less likely
              to lose data during a system crash, but it can  be  considerably
              slower.

       -t --test
              Test.  Check the compressed file integrity then quit.

       -v --verbose
              Verbose.   Display  the  name  and percentage reduction for each
              file compressed or decompressed.

       -V --version
              Version.  Display the version  number  and  compilation  options
              then quit.

       -# --fast --best
              Regulate  the  speed of compression using the specified digit #,
              where -1 or --fast  indicates  the  fastest  compression  method
              (less  compression)  and -9 or --best indicates the slowest com‐
              pression method (best  compression).   The  default  compression
              level is -6 (that is, biased towards high compression at expense
              of speed).

       --rsyncable
              When  you  synchronize  a compressed file between two computers,
              this option allows  rsync  to  transfer  only  files  that  were
              changed in the archive instead of the entire archive.  Normally,
              after  a change is made to any file in the archive, the compres‐
              sion algorithm can generate a new version of  the  archive  that
              does  not  match  the  previous version of the archive.  In this
              case, rsync transfers the entire new version of the  archive  to
              the  remote computer.  With this option, rsync can transfer only
              the changed files as well as a small amount of metadata that  is
              required  to  update  the archive structure in the area that was
              changed.

ADVANCED USAGE
       Multiple compressed files can be concatenated.  In  this  case,  gunzip
       will extract all members at once.  For example:

             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:

             gzip -cd old.gz | gzip > new.gz

       If a compressed file consists of several members, the uncompressed size
       and  CRC reported by the --list option applies to the last member only.
       If you need the uncompressed size for all members, you can use:

             gzip -cd 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 -z option to invoke gzip transpar‐
       ently.  gzip is designed as a complement to tar, not as a replacement.

ENVIRONMENT
       The  environment  variable  GZIP  can hold a set of default options for
       gzip.  These options are interpreted first and can be overridden by ex‐
       plicit command line parameters.  As this can cause problems when  using
       scripts, this feature is supported only for --rsyncable, --synchronous,
       and  options  like -9 that set the compression level; any other options
       or operands in GZIP are silently ignored.

       You can use an alias or script instead.  For example, instead  of  set‐
       ting GZIP="-9" in the environment, if gzip is in the directory /usr/bin
       you  can prepend $HOME/bin to your PATH and create an executable script
       $HOME/bin/gzip containing the following:

             #! /bin/sh
             export PATH=/usr/bin
             exec gzip -9 "$@"

DIAGNOSTICS
       Exit  status is normally 0; if an error occurs, exit status is 1.  If a
       warning occurs, exit status is 2.

       Usage: gzip [-cdfhklLnNrtvV19] [-S suffix] [file ...]
              Invalid options were specified on the command line.

       file: not in gzip format
              The file specified to gunzip has not been compressed.

       file: Corrupt input.
              Use gzcat to recover some data.  The compressed  file  has  been
              damaged.   The  data up to the point of failure can be recovered
              using

                    gzcat file > recover

       file: compressed with xx bits, can only handle yy bits
              File was compressed (using LZW) by a  program  that  could  deal
              with more bits than the decompress code on this machine.  Recom‐
              press  the file with gzip, which compresses better and uses less
              memory.

       file: already has .gz suffix -- unchanged
              The file is assumed to be already compressed.  Rename  the  file
              and try again.

       file already exists; do you wish to overwrite (y or n)?
              Respond  "y"  if you want the output file to be replaced; "n" if
              not.

       gunzip: corrupt input
              A SIGSEGV violation was detected which usually  means  that  the
              input file has been corrupted.

       xx.x% Percentage of the input saved by compression.
              (Relevant only for -v and -l.)

       -- not a regular file or directory: ignored
              When the input file is not a regular file or directory, (e.g., a
              symbolic link, socket, FIFO, device file), it is left unaltered.

       -- has xx other links: unchanged
              The  input  file has links; it is left unchanged.  See ln(1) for
              more information.  Use the -f flag to force compression of  mul‐
              tiply-linked files.

CAVEATS
       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.  You can use the --quiet option to sup‐
       press the warning.

BUGS
       In  some rare cases, the --best option gives worse compression than the
       default compression level (-6).  On some highly redundant  files,  com‐
       press compresses better than gzip.
