Compress/uncompress files with gzip compression (LZ77). More information: <https://www.gnu.org/software/gzip/manual/gzip.html>.

  • Compress a file, replacing it with a gzipped compressed version:
    gzip file.ext
  • Decompress a file, replacing it with the original uncompressed version:
    gzip -d file.ext.gz
  • Compress a file, keeping the original file:
    gzip --keep file.ext
  • Compress a file specifying the output filename:
    gzip -c file.ext > compressed_file.ext.gz
  • Decompress 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
