- Fix for default mtree style

- Importing libexecinfo
- Resynchronize GCC, mpc, gmp, mpfr
- build.sh: Replace params with show-params.
This has been done as the make target has been renamed in the same
way, while a new target named params has been added. This new
target generates a file containing all the parameters, instead of
printing it on the console.
- Update test48 with new etc/services (Fix by Ben Gras <ben@minix3.org)

.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
program compresses and decompresses files using Lempel-Ziv coding
|
|
(LZ77).
|
|
If no
|
|
.Ar files
|
|
are specified,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
will compress from standard input, or decompress to standard output.
|
|
When in compression mode, each
|
|
.Ar file
|
|
will be replaced with another file with the suffix, set by the
|
|
.Fl S Ar suffix
|
|
option, added, if possible.
|
|
In decompression mode, each
|
|
.Ar file
|
|
will be checked for existence, as will the file with the suffix
|
|
added.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If invoked as
|
|
.Nm gunzip
|
|
then the
|
|
.Fl d
|
|
option is enabled.
|
|
If invoked as
|
|
.Nm zcat
|
|
or
|
|
.Nm gzcat
|
|
then both the
|
|
.Fl c
|
|
and
|
|
.Fl d
|
|
options are enabled.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
This version of
|
|
.Nm
|
|
is also capable of decompressing files compressed using
|
|
.Xr compress 1
|
|
or
|
|
.Xr bzip2 1 .
|
|
.Sh OPTIONS
|
|
The following options are available:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width XXrXXXrecursiveX
|
|
.It Fl 1 , -fast
|
|
.It Fl 2
|
|
.It Fl 3
|
|
.It Fl 4
|
|
.It Fl 5
|
|
.It Fl 6
|
|
.It Fl 7
|
|
.It Fl 8
|
|
.It Fl 9 , -best
|
|
These options change the compression level used, with the
|
|
.Fl 1
|
|
option being the fastest, with less compression, and the
|
|
.Fl 9
|
|
option being the slowest, with optimal compression.
|
|
The default compression level is 6.
|
|
.It Fl c , -stdout , -to-stdout
|
|
This option specifies that output will go to the standard output
|
|
stream, leaving files intact.
|
|
.It Fl d , -decompress , -uncompress
|
|
This option selects decompression rather than compression.
|
|
.It Fl f , -force
|
|
This option turns on force mode.
|
|
This allows files with multiple links, overwriting of pre-existing
|
|
files, reading from or writing to a terminal, and when combined
|
|
with the
|
|
.Fl c
|
|
option, allowing non-compressed data to pass through unchanged.
|
|
.It Fl h , -help
|
|
This option prints a usage summary and exits.
|
|
.It Fl l , -list
|
|
This option displays information about the file's compressed and
|
|
uncompressed size, ratio, uncompressed name.
|
|
With the
|
|
.Fl v
|
|
option, it also displays the compression method, CRC, date and time
|
|
embedded in the file.
|
|
.It Fl N , -name
|
|
This option causes the stored filename in the input file to be used
|
|
as the output file.
|
|
.It Fl n , -no-name
|
|
This option stops the filename and timestamp from being stored in
|
|
the output file.
|
|
.It Fl q , -quiet
|
|
With this option, no warnings or errors are printed.
|
|
.It Fl r , -recursive
|
|
This option is used to
|
|
.Nm
|
|
the files in a directory tree individually, using the
|
|
.Xr fts 3
|
|
library.
|
|
.It Fl S Ar suffix , Fl -suffix Ar suffix
|
|
This option changes the default suffix from .gz to
|
|
.Ar suffix .
|
|
.It Fl t , -test
|
|
This option will test compressed files for integrity.
|
|
.It Fl V , -version
|
|
This option prints the version of the
|
|
.Nm
|
|
program.
|
|
.It Fl v , -verbose
|
|
This option turns on verbose mode, which prints the compression
|
|
ratio for each file compressed.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Sh ENVIRONMENT
|
|
If the environment variable
|
|
.Ev GZIP
|
|
is set, it is parsed as a white-space separated list of options
|
|
handled before any options on the command line.
|
|
Options on the command line will override anything in
|
|
.Ev GZIP .

.Sh HISTORY
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
program was originally written by Jean-loup Gailly, licensed under
|
|
the GNU Public Licence.
|
|
Matthew R. Green wrote a simple front end for
|
|
.Nx 1.3
|
|
distribution media, based on the freely re-distributable zlib library.
|
|
It was enhanced to be mostly feature-compatible with the original
|
|
GNU
|
|
.Nm
|
|
program for
|
|
.Nx 2.0 .
