gunzip and uncompress decompress files which are compressed with gzip.
gzexe allows you to compress executables in place and have them automatically uncompress and execute when they are run (at a penalty in performance).
gzip reduces the size of the named files using Lempel-Ziv coding (LZ77).
zcat uncompresses, and writes to standard output, either a list of files on the command line or a file being read from standard input.
zcmp invokes the cmp program on compressed files.
zdiff invokes the diff program on compressed files.
zforce forces a .gz extension on all gzip files so that gzip will not compress them twice. This can be useful for files with names truncated after a file transfer.
zgrep invokes the grep program on compressed files.
zmore is a filter which allows examination of compressed or plain text files, one screen at a time on a soft-copy terminal (similar to the more program).
znew re-compresses files from .Z (compress) format to .gz (gzip) format.
