Required disk space: 3.3 MB
6.44.1. Installation of Gzip
Prepare Gzip for compilation:
./configure --prefix=/usr --bindir=/bin
Compile the package:
make
To test the results, issue:
make check
Install the package:
make install
Move some programs that do not need to be on the root filesystem:
mv -v /bin/{gzexe,uncompress,zcmp,zdiff,zegrep} /usr/bin
mv -v /bin/{zfgrep,zforce,zgrep,zless,zmore,znew} /usr/bin
6.44.2. Contents of Gzip
Installed programs: gunzip, gzexe, gzip, uncompress, zcat, zcmp, zdiff, zegrep, zfgrep, zforce, zgrep, zless,
zmore, and znew
Short Descriptions
gunzip Decompresses gzipped files
gzexe Creates self-decompressing executable files
gzip Compresses the given files using Lempel-Ziv (LZ77) coding
uncompress Decompresses compressed files
zcat Decompresses the given gzipped files to standard output
zcmp Runs cmp on gzipped files
zdiff Runs diff on gzipped files
zegrep Runs egrep on gzipped files
zfgrep Runs fgrep on gzipped files
zforce Forces a .gz extension on all given files that are gzipped files, so that gzip will not compress them
again; this can be useful when file names were truncated during a file transfer
zgrep Runs grep on gzipped files
