[linux] How Linux unzips .gz files

xxxx.tar.gz file uses tar with zxvf parameter and can be decompressed at once. XXXX is the file name. For example:

$tar zxvf xxxx.tar.gz

gzip -d

Syntax: gzip [-acdfhlLnNqrtvV][-S <压缩字尾字符串>][-<压缩效率>][-best/fast][file...] or gzip [-acdfhlLnNqrtvV][-S <压缩字尾字符串>]<压缩效率>[-][--best/fast][directory]

Note: gzip is a widely used compression program, and after the file is compressed, the ".gz" extension will be added to its name.

Parameters:
-a or --ascii uses the ASCII text pattern.
-c or --stdout or --to-stdout outputs the compressed file to a standard output device without changing the original file.
-d or --decompress or ----uncompress to unzip the file.
-f or --force to force the file. Regardless of the file name or the presence of a hard connection and whether the file is a symbolic connection.
-h or --help help online.
-l or --list lists information about the compressed file.
-L or --license to display the version and copyright information.
-n or --no-name When compressing a file, the original file name and timestamp are not saved.
-N or --name save the original file name and timestamp when compressing the file.
-q or --quiet do not display a warning message.
-r or --recursive recursive processing will process all files and subdirectories in the specified directory together.
-S <压缩字尾字符串>or ----suffix<压缩字尾字符串> to change the compressed suffix string.
-t or --test to test whether the compressed file is correct.
-v or --verbose shows the instruction execution process.
-V or --version displays version information.
-<压缩效率> The compression efficiency is a value between 1-9, with a preset value of "6", and the higher the value, the higher the compression efficiency.
--best This parameter has the same effect as specifying the "-9" parameter.
--fast This parameter has the same effect as specifying the "-1" parameter.
