NAME
       gzip, gunzip - compression and decompression utilities

SYNOPSIS
       gzip [ -v ] [ -level ] [ file...	 ]
       gunzip [ file...	 ]

DESCRIPTION
       Gzip  and  gunzip perform data compression and decompression compatible
       with the Unix gzip file format, which uses a hybrid Lempel-Ziv 1977 and
       Huffman	compression  algorithm	called `deflate'.  If no arguments are
       given gzip compresses each file replacing it by a file of the same name
       with  the a .gz suffix appended.	 If no files are given, standard input
       and standard output are used.  Level is a single decimal digit  between
       1  and 9; higher numbers give better compression.  The default level is
       6.  The -v option causes gzip to report the compression ratio  of  each
       file that it compresses.

       Gunzip  performs	 the opposite operation to gzip; each file (which must
       have a .gz suffix) is uncompressed, and replaced by a file of the  same
       name with the .gz suffix removed. If no files are given, standard input
       and standard output are used.
