Gzip / Gunzip plugins --------------------- These plugins work only in conjunction and should not be used separately to compress or uncompress data. For instance a TS child runs gunzip and parent runs gzip. Gzip compresses on one side and gunzip decompresses on the other. Note that gzip plugin produces a compressed file slightly different from what the gzip utility does (the header is different). Thus, file compressed by gzip utility can not be uncompressed by gunzip.
