"Zzzz..." v1.0 (C) 1999 Arpad Gereoffy <arpi@banki1.banki.hu> ~~~~~~~~ Frontend for zlib v1.0.4 compression library (C) by: Jean-loup Gailly Mark Adler gzip@prep.ai.mit.edu madler@alumni.caltech.edu Really it's a big nothing ;-) It just calls some library function, but it helps a lot in manipulating raw z-compressed files from shell scripts. (It was originally written to decompress .ztext and .zdata sections of a compressed ELF object dumped by the ELF Disassembler...) Usage: z [-c|-d] [-0..9] [inputfile outputfile] ~~~~~~ -c = compress (default) -d = decompress -0..9 = set compression level, 0=store 1=fast 9=best=default If no filename specified then stdin/stdout will be used! Examples: ~~~~~~~~~ z -c -7 foobar foobar.z z -d <foobar.z >foobar z -d README.z | more z -d .ztext | ndisasm -u - > .ztext.ASM Note: the .z suffix is not required, but useful.
