GZ — Gzip Compressed File

document

GZ is a single-file compression format based on the DEFLATE algorithm, standardized in RFC 1952. Unlike ZIP or TAR, gzip compresses only a single file. It is ubiquitous on UNIX/Linux systems and is used heavily in HTTP content encoding (gzip compression for web pages), log compression, and as the compression layer in TGZ archives.
