pigz 2.1.6 (17 Jan 2010) by Mark Adler
|
|
|
|
pigz, which stands for Parallel Implementation of GZip, is a fully functional
|
|
replacement for gzip that exploits multiple processors and multiple cores to
|
|
the hilt when compressing data.
|
|
|
|
pigz was written by Mark Adler, and uses the zlib and pthread libraries.
|
|
|
|
This version of pigz is written to be portable across Unix-style operating
|
|
systems that provide the zlib and pthread libraries.
|
|
|
|
Type "make" in this directory to build the "pigz" executable. You can then
|
|
install the executable wherever you like in your path (e.g. /usr/local/bin/).
|
|
Type "pigz" to see the command help and all of the command options.
|
|
|
|
The latest version of pigz can be found at http://zlib.net/pigz/ . You need
|
|
zlib version 1.2.3 or later to compile pigz. You can find the latest version
|
|
of zlib at http://zlib.net/ . You can look in pigz.c for the change history.
