Zutils is a collection of utilities able to deal with any combination of
|
|
|
|
|
compressed and non-compressed files transparently. If any given file,
|
|
|
|
|
including standard input, is compressed, its uncompressed content is
|
|
|
|
|
used. Compressed files are decompressed on the fly; no temporary files
|

|
are created.

|

|
|
These utilities are not wrapper scripts but safer and more efficient C++
|
|
|
|
|
programs. In particular the "--recursive" option is very efficient in
|
|
|
|
|
those utilities supporting it.

|
The provided utilities are zcat, zcmp, zdiff, zgrep and ztest.

|
|
|
The supported formats are bzip2, gzip, lzip and xz.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Zcat, zcmp, zdiff, and zgrep are improved replacements for the shell
|
|
|
|
|
scripts provided with GNU gzip. Ztest is unique to zutils.

|
NOTE: Bzip2 and lzip provide well-defined values of exit status, which
|
|
|
|
|
makes them safe to use with zutils. Gzip and xz may return ambiguous
|
|
|
|
|
warning values, making them less reliable backends for zutils.
