-<CODE>gzip</CODE> (GNU zip) is a popular data compression program
-written by
-<A HREF="mailto:address@hidden";>Jean-Loup Gailly <address@hidden></A>
-for the GNU project.
-Mark Adler <a href="mailto:address@hidden";><address@hidden></a> wrote
the decompression part.
-
-<P>
-We developed this program as a replacement for <CODE>compress</CODE>
-because of the <A HREF="/philosophy/gif.html">UNISYS and IBM patents
-covering the LZW algorithm</A> used by <CODE>compress</CODE>. These
-patents made it impossible for us to use <CODE>compress</CODE>, and we
-needed a replacement. The superior compression ratio of GZIP is just
-a bonus.

-
-<P>
- The licenses for most software are designed to take away your
-freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public
-License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free
-software--to make sure the software is free for all its users. This
-General Public License applies to most of the Free Software
-Foundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit to
-using it. (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by
-the GNU Library General Public License instead.) You can apply it to
-your programs, too.
-
-</P>
-<P>
- When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
-price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
-have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
-this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it
-if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it
-in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things.
-
-</P>
-<P>
- To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid
-anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights.
-These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you
-distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it.
-
-</P>
-<P>
- For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether
-gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that
-you have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the
-source code. And you must show them these terms so they know their
-rights.
-
-</P>
-<P>
- We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and
-(2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy,
-distribute and/or modify the software.
-
-</P>
-<P>
- Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain
-that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free
-software. If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we
-want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so
-that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original
-authors' reputations.
-
-</P>
-<P>
- Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software
-patents. We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free
-program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the
-program proprietary. To prevent this, we have made it clear that any
-patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all.
-
-</P>
-<P>
- The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
-modification follow.
-
-</P>
-
-
-<H2><A NAME="SEC3" HREF="gzip_toc.html#TOC3">TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING,
DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION</A></H2>
-
-
-<OL>
-<LI>
-
-This License applies to any program or other work which contains
-a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed
-under the terms of this General Public License. The "Program", below,
-refers to any such program or work, and a "work based on the Program"
-means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law:
-that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it,
-either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another
-language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in
-the term "modification".) Each licensee is addressed as "you".
-
-Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not
-covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of
-running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program
-is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the
-Program (independent of having been made by running the Program).
-Whether that is true depends on what the Program does.
-
-<LI>
-
-You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's
-source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you
-conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate
-copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the
-notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty;
-and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License
-along with the Program.
-
-You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and
-you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.
-
-<LI>
-
-You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion
-of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and
-distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1
-above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
-
-
-<OL>
-<LI>
-
-You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices
-stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.
-
-<LI>
-
-You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in
-whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any
-part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third
-parties under the terms of this License.
-
-<LI>
-
-If the modified program normally reads commands interactively
-when run, you must cause it, when started running for such
-interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an
-announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a
-notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide
-a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under
-these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this
-License. (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but
-does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on
-the Program is not required to print an announcement.)
-</OL>
-
-These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If
-identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program,
-and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in
-themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those
-sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you
-distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based
-on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of
-this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the
-entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.
-
-Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest
-your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to
-exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or
-collective works based on the Program.
-
-In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program
-with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of
-a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under
-the scope of this License.
-
-<LI>
-
-You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it,
-under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of
-Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:
-
-
-<OL>
-<LI>
-
-Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable
-source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections
-1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
-
-<LI>
-
-Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three
-years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your
-cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete
-machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be
-distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium
-customarily used for software interchange; or,
-
-<LI>
-
-Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer
-to distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is
-allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you
-received the program in object code or executable form with such
-an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)
-</OL>
-
-The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for
-making modifications to it. For an executable work, complete source
-code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any
-associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to
-control compilation and installation of the executable. However, as a
-special exception, the source code distributed need not include
-anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary
-form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the
-operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component
-itself accompanies the executable.
-
-If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering
-access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent
-access to copy the source code from the same place counts as
-distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not
-compelled to copy the source along with the object code.
-
-<LI>
-
-You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program
-except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt
-otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is
-void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License.
-However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under
-this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such
-parties remain in full compliance.
-
-<LI>
-
-You are not required to accept this License, since you have not
-signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or
-distribute the Program or its derivative works. These actions are
-prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by
-modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the
-Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and
-all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying
-the Program or works based on it.
-
-<LI>
-
-Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the
-Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the
-original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to
-these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further
-restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein.
-You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to
-this License.
-
-<LI>
-
-If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent
-infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues),
-conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
-otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
-excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot
-distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
-License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you
-may not distribute the Program at all. For example, if a patent
-license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by
-all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then
-the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to
-refrain entirely from distribution of the Program.
-
-If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under
-any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to
-apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other
-circumstances.
-
-It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any
-patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any
-such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the
-integrity of the free software distribution system, which is
-implemented by public license practices. Many people have made
-generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed
-through that system in reliance on consistent application of that
-system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing
-to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot
-impose that choice.
-
-This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to
-be a consequence of the rest of this License.
-
-<LI>
-
-If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in
-certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the
-original copyright holder who places the Program under this License
-may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding
-those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among
-countries not thus excluded. In such case, this License incorporates
-the limitation as if written in the body of this License.
-
-<LI>
-
-The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions
-of the General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will
-be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
-address new problems or concerns.
-
-Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program
-specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any
-later version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions
-either of that version or of any later version published by the Free
-Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of
-this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software
-Foundation.
-
-<LI>
-
-If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free
-programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author
-to ask for permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free
-Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes
-make exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals
-of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and
-of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.
-
-
-
-<P><STRONG>NO WARRANTY</STRONG></P>
-
-<LI>
-
-BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY
-FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN
-OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES
-PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED
-OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
-MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS
-TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE
-PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING,
-REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
-
-<LI>
-
-IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING
-WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR
-REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES,
-INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING
-OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED
-TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY
-YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER
-PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE
-POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

-<CODE>gzip</CODE> reduces the size of the named files using Lempel-Ziv coding
-(LZ77). Whenever possible, each file is replaced by one with the
-extension <SAMP>`.gz'</SAMP>, while keeping the same ownership modes, access
and
-modification times. (The default extension is <SAMP>`-gz'</SAMP> for VMS,
-<SAMP>`z'</SAMP> for MSDOS, OS/2 FAT and Atari.) If no files are specified or
-if a file name is "-", the standard input is compressed to the standard
-output. <CODE>gzip</CODE> will only attempt to compress regular files. In
-particular, it will ignore symbolic links.
-
-</P>
-<P>
-If the new file name is too long for its file system, <CODE>gzip</CODE>
-truncates it. <CODE>gzip</CODE> attempts to truncate only the parts of the
-file name longer than 3 characters. (A part is delimited by dots.) If
-the name consists of small parts only, the longest parts are truncated.
-For example, if file names are limited to 14 characters, gzip.msdos.exe
-is compressed to gzi.msd.exe.gz. Names are not truncated on systems
-which do not have a limit on file name length.
-
-</P>
-<P>
-By default, <CODE>gzip</CODE> keeps the original file name and timestamp in
-the compressed file. These are used when decompressing the file with the
-<SAMP>`-N'</SAMP> option. This is useful when the compressed file name was
-truncated or when the time stamp was not preserved after a file
-transfer.
-
-</P>
-<P>
-Compressed files can be restored to their original form using <SAMP>`gzip
-d'</SAMP>
-or <CODE>gunzip</CODE> or <CODE>zcat</CODE>. If the original name saved in the
-compressed file is not suitable for its file system, a new name is
-constructed from the original one to make it legal.
-
-</P>
-<P>
-<CODE>gunzip</CODE> takes a list of files on its command line and replaces
-each file whose name ends with <SAMP>`.gz'</SAMP>, <SAMP>`.z'</SAMP>,
<SAMP>`.Z'</SAMP>,
-<SAMP>`-gz'</SAMP>, <SAMP>`-z'</SAMP> or <SAMP>`_z'</SAMP> and which begins
with the correct
-magic number with an uncompressed file without the original extension.
-<CODE>gunzip</CODE> also recognizes the special extensions <SAMP>`.tgz'</SAMP>
and
-<SAMP>`.taz'</SAMP> as shorthands for <SAMP>`.tar.gz'</SAMP> and
<SAMP>`.tar.Z'</SAMP>
-respectively. When compressing, <CODE>gzip</CODE> uses the <SAMP>`.tgz'</SAMP>
-extension if necessary instead of truncating a file with a <SAMP>`.tar'</SAMP>
-extension.
-
-</P>
-<P>
-<CODE>gunzip</CODE> can currently decompress files created by
<CODE>gzip</CODE>,
-<CODE>zip</CODE>, <CODE>compress</CODE> or <CODE>pack</CODE>. The detection of
the input
-format is automatic. When using the first two formats, <CODE>gunzip</CODE>
-checks a 32 bit CRC (cyclic redundancy check). For <CODE>pack</CODE>,
-<CODE>gunzip</CODE> checks the uncompressed length. The <CODE>compress</CODE>
format
-was not designed to allow consistency checks. However <CODE>gunzip</CODE> is
-sometimes able to detect a bad <SAMP>`.Z'</SAMP> file. If you get an error when
-uncompressing a <SAMP>`.Z'</SAMP> file, do not assume that the
<SAMP>`.Z'</SAMP> file is
-correct simply because the standard <CODE>uncompress</CODE> does not complain.
-This generally means that the standard <CODE>uncompress</CODE> does not check
-its input, and happily generates garbage output. The SCO <SAMP>`compress
--H'</SAMP> format (<CODE>lzh</CODE> compression method) does not include a CRC
but
-also allows some consistency checks.
-
-</P>
-<P>
-Files created by <CODE>zip</CODE> can be uncompressed by <CODE>gzip</CODE>
only if
-they have a single member compressed with the 'deflation' method. This
-feature is only intended to help conversion of <CODE>tar.zip</CODE> files to
-the <CODE>tar.gz</CODE> format. To extract <CODE>zip</CODE> files with several
-members, use <CODE>unzip</CODE> instead of <CODE>gunzip</CODE>.
-
-</P>
-<P>
-<CODE>zcat</CODE> is identical to <SAMP>`gunzip -c'</SAMP>. <CODE>zcat</CODE>
-uncompresses either a list of files on the command line or its standard
-input and writes the uncompressed data on standard output. <CODE>zcat</CODE>
-will uncompress files that have the correct magic number whether they
-have a <SAMP>`.gz'</SAMP> suffix or not.
-
-</P>
-<P>
-<CODE>gzip</CODE> uses the Lempel-Ziv algorithm used in <CODE>zip</CODE> and
PKZIP.
-The amount of compression obtained depends on the size of the input and
-the distribution of common substrings. Typically, text such as source
-code or English is reduced by 60-70%. Compression is generally much
-better than that achieved by LZW (as used in <CODE>compress</CODE>), Huffman
-coding (as used in <CODE>pack</CODE>), or adaptive Huffman coding
-(<CODE>compact</CODE>).
-
-</P>
-<P>
-Compression is always performed, even if the compressed file is slightly
-larger than the original. The worst case expansion is a few bytes for
-the <CODE>gzip</CODE> file header, plus 5 bytes every 32K block, or an
expansion
-ratio of 0.015% for large files. Note that the actual number of used
-disk blocks almost never increases. <CODE>gzip</CODE> preserves the mode,
-ownership and timestamps of files when compressing or decompressing.

-When writing compressed data to a tape, it is generally necessary to pad

-GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
-**************************
-
- Version 2, June 1991
-
- Copyright (C) 1989, 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
- 675 Mass Ave, Cambridge, MA 02139, USA
-
- Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
- of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
-
-Preamble
-========
-
- The licenses for most software are designed to take away your
-freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public
-License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free
-software--to make sure the software is free for all its users. This
-General Public License applies to most of the Free Software
-Foundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit to
-using it. (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by
-the GNU Library General Public License instead.) You can apply it to
-your programs, too.
-
- When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
-price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
-have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
-this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it
-if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it in
-new free programs; and that you know you can do these things.
-
- To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid
-anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights.
-These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you
-distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it.
-
- For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether
-gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that
-you have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the
-source code. And you must show them these terms so they know their
-rights.
-
- We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software,
-and (2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy,
-distribute and/or modify the software.
-
- Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain
-that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free
-software. If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we
-want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so
-that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original
-authors' reputations.
-
- Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software
-patents. We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free
-program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the
-program proprietary. To prevent this, we have made it clear that any
-patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all.
-
- The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
-modification follow.
-
- TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
-
- 1. This License applies to any program or other work which contains a
- notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed
- under the terms of this General Public License. The "Program",
- below, refers to any such program or work, and a "work based on
- the Program" means either the Program or any derivative work under
- copyright law: that is to say, a work containing the Program or a
- portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications and/or
- translated into another language. (Hereinafter, translation is
- included without limitation in the term "modification".) Each
- licensee is addressed as "you".
-
- Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are
- not covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act
- of running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the
- Program is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on
- the Program (independent of having been made by running the
- Program). Whether that is true depends on what the Program does.
-
- 2. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's
- source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you
- conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate
- copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the
- notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any
- warranty; and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of
- this License along with the Program.
-
- You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy,
- and you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange
- for a fee.
-
- 3. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion
- of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and
- distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1
- above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
-
- a. You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices
- stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.
-
- b. You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that
- in whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program
- or any part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge
- to all third parties under the terms of this License.
-
- c. If the modified program normally reads commands interactively
- when run, you must cause it, when started running for such
- interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display
- an announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and
- a notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you
- provide a warranty) and that users may redistribute the
- program under these conditions, and telling the user how to
- view a copy of this License. (Exception: if the Program
- itself is interactive but does not normally print such an
- announcement, your work based on the Program is not required
- to print an announcement.)
-
- These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If
- identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the
- Program, and can be reasonably considered independent and separate
- works in themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not
- apply to those sections when you distribute them as separate
- works. But when you distribute the same sections as part of a
- whole which is a work based on the Program, the distribution of
- the whole must be on the terms of this License, whose permissions
- for other licensees extend to the entire whole, and thus to each
- and every part regardless of who wrote it.
-
- Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or
- contest your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the
- intent is to exercise the right to control the distribution of
- derivative or collective works based on the Program.
-
- In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the
- Program with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on
- a volume of a storage or distribution medium does not bring the
- other work under the scope of this License.
-
- 4. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it,
- under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms
- of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the
- following:
-
- a. Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable
- source code, which must be distributed under the terms of
- Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for
- software interchange; or,
-
- b. Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three
- years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your
- cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete
- machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be
- distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a
- medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
-
- c. Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer
- to distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is
- allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you
- received the program in object code or executable form with
- such an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)
-
- The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for
- making modifications to it. For an executable work, complete
- source code means all the source code for all modules it contains,
- plus any associated interface definition files, plus the scripts
- used to control compilation and installation of the executable.
- However, as a special exception, the source code distributed need
- not include anything that is normally distributed (in either
- source or binary form) with the major components (compiler,
- kernel, and so on) of the operating system on which the executable
- runs, unless that component itself accompanies the executable.
-
- If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering
- access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent
- access to copy the source code from the same place counts as
- distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not
- compelled to copy the source along with the object code.
-
- 5. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program
- except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt
- otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is
- void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this
- License. However, parties who have received copies, or rights,
- from you under this License will not have their licenses
- terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance.
-
- 6. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not
- signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify
- or distribute the Program or its derivative works. These actions
- are prohibited by law if you do not accept this License.
- Therefore, by modifying or distributing the Program (or any work
- based on the Program), you indicate your acceptance of this
- License to do so, and all its terms and conditions for copying,
- distributing or modifying the Program or works based on it.
-
- 7. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the
- Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the
- original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program
- subject to these terms and conditions. You may not impose any
- further restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights
- granted herein. You are not responsible for enforcing compliance
- by third parties to this License.
-
- 8. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent
- infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent
- issues), conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order,
- agreement or otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this
- License, they do not excuse you from the conditions of this
- License. If you cannot distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously
- your obligations under this License and any other pertinent
- obligations, then as a consequence you may not distribute the
- Program at all. For example, if a patent license would not permit
- royalty-free redistribution of the Program by all those who
- receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then the only
- way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to refrain
- entirely from distribution of the Program.
-
- If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable
- under any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is
- intended to apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply
- in other circumstances.
-
- It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any
- patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of
- any such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting
- the integrity of the free software distribution system, which is
- implemented by public license practices. Many people have made
- generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed
- through that system in reliance on consistent application of that
- system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is
- willing to distribute software through any other system and a
- licensee cannot impose that choice.
-
- This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed
- to be a consequence of the rest of this License.
-
- 9. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in
- certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces,
- the original copyright holder who places the Program under this
- License may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation
- excluding those countries, so that distribution is permitted only
- in or among countries not thus excluded. In such case, this
- License incorporates the limitation as if written in the body of
- this License.
-
- 10. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new
- versions of the General Public License from time to time. Such
- new versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but
- may differ in detail to address new problems or concerns.
-
- Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the
- Program specifies a version number of this License which applies
- to it and "any later version", you have the option of following
- the terms and conditions either of that version or of any later
- version published by the Free Software Foundation. If the Program
- does not specify a version number of this License, you may choose
- any version ever published by the Free Software Foundation.
-
- 11. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free
- programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the
- author to ask for permission. For software which is copyrighted
- by the Free Software Foundation, write to the Free Software
- Foundation; we sometimes make exceptions for this. Our decision
- will be guided by the two goals of preserving the free status of
- all derivatives of our free software and of promoting the sharing
- and reuse of software generally.
-
- NO WARRANTY
-
- 12. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO
- WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE
- LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT
- HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT
- WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT
- NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND

-How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
-=============================================
-
- If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest
-possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it
-free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these
-terms.
-
- To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest
-to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively
-convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least
-the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
-
- ONE LINE TO GIVE THE PROGRAM'S NAME AND AN IDEA OF WHAT IT DOES.

- The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the
-appropriate parts of the General Public License. Of course, the
-commands you use may be called something other than `show w' and `show
-c'; they could even be mouse-clicks or menu items--whatever suits your
-program.
-
- You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or
-your school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program,
-if necessary. Here is a sample; alter the names:

-Overview
-********
-
- `gzip' reduces the size of the named files using Lempel-Ziv coding
-(LZ77). Whenever possible, each file is replaced by one with the
-extension `.gz', while keeping the same ownership modes, access and
-modification times. (The default extension is `-gz' for VMS, `z' for
-MSDOS, OS/2 FAT and Atari.) If no files are specified or if a file
-name is "-", the standard input is compressed to the standard output.
-`gzip' will only attempt to compress regular files. In particular, it
-will ignore symbolic links.
-
- If the new file name is too long for its file system, `gzip'
-truncates it. `gzip' attempts to truncate only the parts of the file
-name longer than 3 characters. (A part is delimited by dots.) If the
-name consists of small parts only, the longest parts are truncated.
-For example, if file names are limited to 14 characters, gzip.msdos.exe
-is compressed to gzi.msd.exe.gz. Names are not truncated on systems
-which do not have a limit on file name length.
-
- By default, `gzip' keeps the original file name and timestamp in the
-compressed file. These are used when decompressing the file with the
-`-N' option. This is useful when the compressed file name was truncated
-or when the time stamp was not preserved after a file transfer.
-
- Compressed files can be restored to their original form using `gzip
--d' or `gunzip' or `zcat'. If the original name saved in the
-compressed file is not suitable for its file system, a new name is
-constructed from the original one to make it legal.
-
- `gunzip' takes a list of files on its command line and replaces each
-file whose name ends with `.gz', `.z', `.Z', `-gz', `-z' or `_z' and
-which begins with the correct magic number with an uncompressed file
-without the original extension. `gunzip' also recognizes the special
-extensions `.tgz' and `.taz' as shorthands for `.tar.gz' and `.tar.Z'
-respectively. When compressing, `gzip' uses the `.tgz' extension if
-necessary instead of truncating a file with a `.tar' extension.
-
- `gunzip' can currently decompress files created by `gzip', `zip',
-`compress' or `pack'. The detection of the input format is automatic.
-When using the first two formats, `gunzip' checks a 32 bit CRC (cyclic
-redundancy check). For `pack', `gunzip' checks the uncompressed length.
-The `compress' format was not designed to allow consistency checks.
-However `gunzip' is sometimes able to detect a bad `.Z' file. If you
-get an error when uncompressing a `.Z' file, do not assume that the
-`.Z' file is correct simply because the standard `uncompress' does not
-complain. This generally means that the standard `uncompress' does not
-check its input, and happily generates garbage output. The SCO
-`compress -H' format (`lzh' compression method) does not include a CRC
-but also allows some consistency checks.
-
- Files created by `zip' can be uncompressed by `gzip' only if they
-have a single member compressed with the 'deflation' method. This
-feature is only intended to help conversion of `tar.zip' files to the
-`tar.gz' format. To extract `zip' files with several members, use
-`unzip' instead of `gunzip'.
-
- `zcat' is identical to `gunzip -c'. `zcat' uncompresses either a
-list of files on the command line or its standard input and writes the
-uncompressed data on standard output. `zcat' will uncompress files
-that have the correct magic number whether they have a `.gz' suffix or
-not.
-
- `gzip' uses the Lempel-Ziv algorithm used in `zip' and PKZIP. The
-amount of compression obtained depends on the size of the input and the
-distribution of common substrings. Typically, text such as source code
-or English is reduced by 60-70%. Compression is generally much better
-than that achieved by LZW (as used in `compress'), Huffman coding (as
-used in `pack'), or adaptive Huffman coding (`compact').
-
- Compression is always performed, even if the compressed file is
-slightly larger than the original. The worst case expansion is a few
-bytes for the `gzip' file header, plus 5 bytes every 32K block, or an
-expansion ratio of 0.015% for large files. Note that the actual number
-of used disk blocks almost never increases. `gzip' preserves the mode,
-ownership and timestamps of files when compressing or decompressing.
-
-Sample Output
-*************
-
- Here are some realistic examples of running `gzip'.
-
- This is the output of the command `gzip -h':
-
- gzip 1.2.4 (18 Aug 93)
- usage: gzip [-cdfhlLnNrtvV19] [-S suffix] [file ...]
- -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
- -l --list list compressed file contents
- -L --license display software license
- -n --no-name do not save or restore the original name and time stamp
- -N --name save or restore the original name and time stamp
- -q --quiet suppress all warnings
- -r --recursive operate recursively on directories
- -S .suf --suffix .suf use suffix .suf on compressed files
- -t --test test compressed file integrity
- -v --verbose verbose mode
- -V --version display version number
- -1 --fast compress faster
- -9 --best compress better
- file... files to (de)compress. If none given, use standard
input.
-
- This is the output of the command `gzip -v texinfo.tex':
-
- texinfo.tex: 71.6% -- replaced with texinfo.tex.gz
-
- The following command will find all `gzip' files in the current
-directory and subdirectories, and extract them in place without
-destroying the original:
-
- find . -name '*.gz' -print | sed 's/^\(.*\)[.]gz$/gunzip < "&" > "\1"/' |
sh
-
-Invoking `gzip'
-***************
-
- The format for running the `gzip' program is:
-
- gzip OPTION ...
-
- `gzip' supports the following options:
-
-`--stdout'
-`--to-stdout'
-`-c'
- Write output on standard output; keep original files unchanged.
- If there are several input files, the output consists of a
- sequence of independently compressed members. To obtain better
- compression, concatenate all input files before compressing them.
-
-`--decompress'
-`--uncompress'
-`-d'
- Decompress.
-
-`--force'
-`-f'
- Force compression or decompression even if the file has multiple
- links or the corresponding file already exists, or if the
- compressed data is read from or written to a terminal. If the
- input data is not in a format recognized by `gzip', and if the
- option -stdout is also given, copy the input data without change
- to the standard ouput: let `zcat' behave as `cat'. If `-f' is not
- given, and when not running in the background, `gzip' prompts to
- verify whether an existing file should be overwritten.
-
-`--help'
-`-h'
- Print an informative help message describing the options then quit.
-
-`--list'
-`-l'
- For each compressed file, list the following fields:
-
- compressed size: size of the compressed file
- uncompressed size: size of the uncompressed file
- ratio: compression ratio (0.0% if unknown)
- uncompressed_name: name of the uncompressed file
-
- The uncompressed size is given as `-1' for files not in `gzip'
- format, such as compressed `.Z' files. To get the uncompressed
- size for such a file, you can use:
-
- zcat file.Z | wc -c
-
- In combination with the -verbose option, the following fields are
- also displayed:
-
- method: compression method (deflate,compress,lzh,pack)
- crc: the 32-bit CRC of the uncompressed data
- date & time: time stamp for the uncompressed file
-
- The crc is given as ffffffff for a file not in gzip format.
-
- With -verbose, the size totals and compression ratio for all files
- is also displayed, unless some sizes are unknown. With -quiet, the
- title and totals lines are not displayed.
-
-`--license'
-`-L'
- Display the `gzip' license then quit.
-
-`--no-name'
-`-n'
- When compressing, do not save the original file name and time
- stamp by default. (The original name is always saved if the name
- had to be truncated.) When decompressing, do not restore the
- original file name if present (remove only the `gzip' suffix from
- the compressed file name) and do not restore the original time
- stamp if present (copy it from the compressed file). This option
- is the default when decompressing.
-
-`--name'
-`-N'
- When compressing, always save the original file name and time
- stamp; this is the default. When decompressing, restore the
- original file name and time stamp if present. This option is
- useful on systems which have a limit on file name length or when
- the time stamp has been lost after a file transfer.
-
-`--quiet'
-`-q'
- Suppress all warning messages.
-
-`--recursive'
-`-r'
- Travel the directory structure recursively. If any of the file
- names specified on the command line are directories, `gzip' will
- descend into the directory and compress all the files it finds
- there (or decompress them in the case of `gunzip').
-
-`--suffix SUF'
-`-S SUF'
- Use suffix `SUF' instead of `.gz'. Any suffix can be given, but
- suffixes other than `.z' and `.gz' should be avoided to avoid
- confusion when files are transferred to other systems. A null
- suffix forces gunzip to try decompression on all given files
- regardless of suffix, as in:
-
- gunzip -S "" * (*.* for MSDOS)
-
- Previous versions of gzip used the `.z' suffix. This was changed to
- avoid a conflict with `pack'.
-
-`--test'
-`-t'
- Test. Check the compressed file integrity.
-
-`--verbose'
-`-v'
- Verbose. Display the name and percentage reduction for each file
- compressed.
-
-`--version'
-`-V'
- Version. Display the version number and compilation options, then
- quit.
-
-`--fast'
-`--best'
-`-N'
- Regulate the speed of compression using the specified digit N,
- where `-1' or `--fast' indicates the fastest compression method
- (less compression) and `--best' or `-9' indicates the slowest
- compression method (optimal compression). The default compression
- level is `-6' (that is, biased towards high compression at expense
- of speed).
-
-Advanced usage
-**************
-
- Multiple compressed files can be concatenated. In this case,
-`gunzip' will extract all members at once. If one member is damaged,
-other members might still be recovered after removal of the damaged
-member. Better compression can be usually obtained if all members are
-decompressed and then recompressed in a single step.
-
- This is an example of concatenating `gzip' files:
-
- gzip -c file1 > foo.gz
- gzip -c file2 >> foo.gz
-
- Then
-
- gunzip -c foo
-
- is equivalent to
-
- cat file1 file2
-
- In case of damage to one member of a `.gz' file, other members can
-still be recovered (if the damaged member is removed). However, you can
-get better compression by compressing all members at once:
-
- cat file1 file2 | gzip > foo.gz
-
- compresses better than
-
- gzip -c file1 file2 > foo.gz
-
- If you want to recompress concatenated files to get better
-compression, do:
-
- zcat old.gz | gzip > new.gz
-
- If a compressed file consists of several members, the uncompressed
-size and CRC reported by the `--list' option applies to the last member
-only. If you need the uncompressed size for all members, you can use:
-
- zcat file.gz | wc -c
-
- If you wish to create a single archive file with multiple members so
-that members can later be extracted independently, use an archiver such
-as `tar' or `zip'. GNU `tar' supports the `-z' option to invoke `gzip'
-transparently. `gzip' is designed as a complement to `tar', not as a
-replacement.
-
-Environment
-***********
-
- The environment variable `GZIP' can hold a set of default options for
-`gzip'. These options are interpreted first and can be overwritten by
-explicit command line parameters. For example:
-
- for sh: GZIP="-8v --name"; export GZIP
- for csh: setenv GZIP "-8v --name"
- for MSDOS: set GZIP=-8v --name
-
- On Vax/VMS, the name of the environment variable is `GZIP_OPT', to
-avoid a conflict with the symbol set for invocation of the program.
-
-Using `gzip' on tapes
-*********************
-
- When writing compressed data to a tape, it is generally necessary to
-pad the output with zeroes up to a block boundary. When the data is
-read and the whole block is passed to `gunzip' for decompression,
-`gunzip' detects that there is extra trailing garbage after the
-compressed data and emits a warning by default. You have to use the
-`--quiet' option to suppress the warning. This option can be set in the
-`GZIP' environment variable, as in:
-
- for sh: GZIP="-q" tar -xfz --block-compress /dev/rst0
- for csh: (setenv GZIP "-q"; tar -xfz --block-compress /dev/rst0)
-
- In the above example, `gzip' is invoked implicitly by the `-z'
-option of GNU `tar'. Make sure that the same block size (`-b' option
-of `tar') is used for reading and writing compressed data on tapes.
-(This example assumes you are using the GNU version of `tar'.)
-
-Reporting Bugs
-**************
-
- If you find a bug in `gzip', please send electronic mail to
address@hidden' or, if this fails, to
address@hidden'. Include the version number, which you
-can find by running `gzip -V'. Also include in your message the
-hardware and operating system, the compiler used to compile `gzip', a
-description of the bug behavior, and the input to `gzip' that triggered
-the bug.
