How do I use gzip?


The commands described below need to be entered while logged in to the Unix server.   Normally you'll see a prompt ending with $ when the command interpreter (or shell) is ready for another command.

Enter the command:

gzip -h

for more details.

For even more detail, enter the command:

info gzip

 (the same commands with gunzip give the same information)
