a collection of utilities for dealing with zipped and unzipped files transparently.
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 decompressed 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
- Decompresses and copies files to standard output.
- Zcmp
- Decompresses and compares two files byte by byte.
- Zdiff
- Decompresses and compares two files line by line.
- Zgrep
- Decompresses and searches files for a regular expression.
- Ztest
- Tests integrity of compressed files.
