zgz

NAME

zgz - libz based gz creator

SYNOPSIS

zgz [options] < file > file.gz

DESCRIPTION

zgz is a modified version of a BSD gzip program. Unlike gzip(1), it uses libz for compression.

BSD gzip is a drop-in replacement for GNU gzip(1). You can refer to GNU gzip's manpage for the command-line arguments. However, this is a modified version that removes support for some options, most notably decompression (-d) and recursive (-r).

zgz can also build GNU gzip files with the --gnu option. zgz incorporates parts of GNU gzip to support this option.

This version supports a variety of special options which aid pristine-gz(1) in reproducing builds of gz files that are bit-identical to the originals.
