The basic format of the gzip command is as follows:

[root@localhost ~] # gzip [options] source file

Basic compression

The gzip compression command is so simple that you don't even need to specify the compressed package name, just the source file name. Let's try this:

[root@localhost ~] # gzip install.log# compressed instal.log file [root@localhost ~] # lsanaconda-ks.cfg install.log.gz install.log.syslog# compressed file is generated, but the source file also disappears

Preserve source file compression

When you compress a file using the gzip command, the source file disappears, resulting in a compressed file. At this time, some people will have obsessive-compulsive disorder, forced to ask the author: can not let the source file disappear when compressing the file? Well, that's okay, but it's awkward.

[root@localhost ~] # gzip-c anaconda-ks.cfg > anaconda-ks.cfg.gz# uses the-c option, but instead of exporting compressed data to the screen, it is redirected to a compressed file, so that the file can be shrunk without deleting the source file [root@localhost ~] # lsanaconda-ks.cfg anaconda-ks.cfg.gz install.log.gz install.log.syslog#. You can see that both the compressed file and the source file exist after reading this article.
