Editor to share with you the use of linux's gzip command to compress and extract files. I hope you will gain a lot after reading this article. Let's discuss it together.

The gzip command, known as "GNUzip" in English, is a tool commonly used to compress files. Gzip is a widely used compression program. After the file is compressed by it, its name will be followed by a number of ".gz" extensions.

Gzip is a command that is often used in Linux system to compress and decompress files, which is convenient and easy to use. Gzip can not only be used to compress large, less used files to save disk space, but also can be used with tar commands to form a more popular compressed file format in Linux operating systems. According to statistics, the gzip command has a compression ratio of 60% to 70% for text files. Reducing file size has two obvious benefits: one is that you can reduce storage space, and the other is that you can reduce the transfer time when transferring files over the network.

Syntax format: gzip [parameters]

Reference example

Compress each file in the rancher-v2.2.0 directory into a .gz file:

[root@linuxcool ~] # gzip *

Extract each compressed file in the above example and list the detailed information:

[root@linuxcool] # gzip-dv *

Recursively extract the directory:

[root@linuxcool] # gzip-dr rancher.gz has finished reading this article, I believe you have some understanding of using linux's gzip command to compress and decompress files, want to know more about it, welcome to follow the industry information channel, thank you for reading!
