kgz is like gzip, but supports compressing and decompressing to a different
|
||||
directory than the source file is in.
|
||||
|
||||
Usage: kgz [-l] source [target]
|
||||
Usage: kgz [-l] [-k] [-m] [-x] [--uid N] [--gid N] source [target]
|
||||
|
||||
If target is a directory, the basename of the sourcefile will be used
|
||||
If target is a directory, the basename of the source file will be used
|
||||
as the target filename. Compression and decompression is selected
|
||||
based on whether the source filename ends in ".gz".
|
||||
|
||||
Flags:
|
||||
-l level Compression level (0-9). Only meaninful when
|
||||
compressing a file.
|
||||
-l level Compression level (0-9). Only meaningful when compressing.
|
||||
-u Do not restrict the size during decompression. As
|
||||
a safeguard against gzip bombs, the maximum size
|
||||
allowed is 32 * the compressed file size.
|
||||
-k Keep the source file (do not remove it after successful
|
||||
compression or decompression).
|
||||
-m On decompression, set the file mtime from the gzip header.
|
||||
-x On compression, include uid/gid/mode/ctime in the gzip Extra
|
||||
field so that decompression can restore them. The Extra payload
|
||||
is an ASN.1 DER-encoded struct.
|
||||
--uid N When used with -x, set UID in Extra to N (override source).
|
||||
--gid N When used with -x, set GID in Extra to N (override source).
|
||||
|
||||
Metadata notes:
|
||||
- mtime is stored in the standard gzip header and restored with -m.
|
||||
- uid/gid/mode/ctime are stored in a kgz-specific Extra subfield as an ASN.1
|
||||
DER-encoded struct. Restoring
|
||||
uid/gid may fail without sufficient privileges; such errors are ignored.
