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...

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

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]...

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...

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...

compression program based on the LZW compression algorithm. Compared to gzip's fastest setting, compress is slightly slower at compression, slightly faster...

It also provides a filter for decompressing (inflating, uncompressing) a gzip compressed response body. The mod_deflate module does not have a lower bound...

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

In programming, Libarc is a C++ library that accesses contents of GZIP compressed ARC files. These ARC files are generated by the Internet Archive's Heritrix...

"Content-Encoding: gzip" can be used to inform the client that the body entity part of the transmitted data is compressed by gzip algorithm. The most...

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...

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...

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...

encoding of ZIP archive comments. Recognition of GZIP files with arbitrary preceding data as an actual GZIP archive. 5.70 (2019-02): removes support for ACE...

on the deflate algorithm defined in RFC 1951 (deflate is also used in the gzip, PNG, and zip file formats among others); introduced in PDF 1.2; it can use...

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

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...

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...

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...
