Description

The

gunzip command decompresses compressed files (these files have the

.gz or

.Z extension). After decompressing,

gunzip replaces the compressed files with their decompressed versions and removes the

.gz or

.Z extension in the filenames. The

gunzip command is the same as

gzip with the

-d option.
