2 Sample output
Here are some realistic examples of running gzip
.
This is the output of the command ‘gzip -h
’:
Usage: gzip [OPTION]... [FILE]... Compress or uncompress FILEs (by default, compress FILES in-place). Mandatory arguments to long options are mandatory for short options too. -c, --stdout write on standard output, keep original files unchanged -d, --decompress decompress -f, --force force overwrite of output file and compress links -h, --help give this help -k, --keep keep (don't delete) input files -l, --list list compressed file contents -L, --license display software license -n, --no-name do not save or restore the original name and timestamp -N, --name save or restore the original name and timestamp -q, --quiet suppress all warnings -r, --recursive operate recursively on directories --rsyncable make rsync-friendly archive -S, --suffix=SUF use suffix SUF on compressed files --synchronous synchronous output (safer if system crashes, but slower) -t, --test test compressed file integrity -v, --verbose verbose mode -V, --version display version number -1, --fast compress faster -9, --best compress better With no FILE, or when FILE is -, read standard input.

This is the output of the command ‘gzip -v texinfo.tex
’:
texinfo.tex: 69.3% -- replaced with texinfo.tex.gz
The following command will find all regular ‘.gz
’ files in the current directory and subdirectories (skipping file names that contain newlines), and extract them in place without destroying the original, stopping on the first failure:
find . -name '* *' -prune -o -name '*.gz' -type f -print | sed " s/'/'\\\\''/g s/^\\(.*\\)\\.gz$/gunzip <'\\1.gz' >'\\1'/ " | sh -e
