Linux Command Line (46) gzip
gzip is used to zip or compress a file that you want to use less disk space to move to an archive or backup device.
When a file is gzipped, the file is moved to the gzip filename, unless the "k" for keep option is used.
zcat is used to cat a gzipped file and zgrep can be used to grep a gzipped file
When a directory is gzipped, each file in that directory is gzipped (not the directory itself).
To gzip multiple files into a single the tar command should be used (The tar command will be shown in the next video).
