gzip is a file format and a software application used for file compression and decompression. The program was created by Jean-loup Gailly and Mark Adler...

alternatives like zip, gzip and bzip2. Decompression speed is higher than bzip2, but lower than gzip. Compression can be much slower than gzip, and is slower...

mod_gzip is an external extension module for the Apache HTTP Server v1 and v2. It allows using the Gzip compression method for a significant reduction...

not covered by patents. This led to its widespread use – for example, in gzip compressed files and PNG image files, in addition to the ZIP file format...

successor to gzip, it is supported by all major web browsers and has become increasingly popular, as it provides better compression than gzip.[citation needed]...

download uncompressed data. The most common compression schemes include gzip and Brotli; a full list of available schemes is maintained by the IANA. There...

non-compression archive formats (both for packing and unpacking), including ZIP, gzip, bzip2, xz, tar, and WIM. The utility also supports unpacking APM, ar, ARJ...

For example, one can create a pipe and set up gzip to compress things piped to it: mkfifo my_pipe gzip -9 -c < my_pipe > out.gz & In a separate process...

co-author together with Jean-loup Gailly of the zlib compression library and gzip. He has contributed to Info-ZIP, and has participated in developing the Portable...

Huffman coding. Deflate is found in several file formats including ZIP, gzip, PNG and PDF. 7-Zip contains a from-scratch DEFLATE encoder that frequently...

to Debian 0.93, a package consisted of a file header and two concatenated gzip archives. Since Debian 0.93, a deb package is implemented as an ar archive...

Jean-Loup Gailly (born 1956) is a French computer scientist and an author of gzip. He wrote the compression code of the portable archiver of the Info-ZIP and...

compressors. Users of the Unix tools use additional compression tools, such as gzip, bzip2, or xz, to compress the archive file after packing or remove compression...

ALZ formats. Traditionally, tar, cpio, or pax calls the external programs gzip and bzip2 to perform compression; these external programs usually come with...

include functionality to do this automatically Per-file compression with gzip, bzip2, lzo, xz, lzma (as opposed to compressing the whole archive). An individual...

when creating a bootable kernel image, the kernel is also compressed using gzip, or, since Linux 2.6.30, using LZMA or bzip2, which requires a very small...

compared to classic dictionary compression (such as the one used in zip and gzip formats), the dictionary sizes can be and usually are much larger, taking...

compression methods on Apache include the external extension module, mod_gzip, implemented to help with reduction of the size (weight) of web pages served...

distinction: Compressing individual files and then archiving would be a tar of gzip-compressed files – this is very uncommon. Archiving various uncompressed...

for both web and print applications. SVG images can be compressed with the gzip algorithm, resulting in SVGZ files that are typically 20–50% smaller than...
