zutils 1.9 Utilities that transparently operate on compressed files
Zutils is a collection of utilities able to process any combination of compressed and uncompressed files transparently. If any given file, including standard input, is compressed, its decompressed content is used instead.
zcat
, zcmp
, zdiff
, and zgrep
are improved replacements for the shell scripts provided by GNU gzip. ztest
tests the integrity of supported compressed files. zupdate
recompresses files with lzip, similar to gzip's znew
.
Supported compression formats are bzip2, gzip, lzip, and xz. Zutils uses external compressors: the compressor to be used for each format is configurable at run time, and must be installed separately.
