This module provides a wrapper for the gzip related functions of zlib, a free, general-purpose, legally unencumbered, lossless data-compression library. These functions allow the reading and writing of gzip files.
Install with Pkg.add("GZip") at the Julia prompt.
Typical usage would be something like
import GZip
fh = GZip.open("infile.gz")
s = readline(fh)
...
close(fh)
...
s = "gzip is part of zlib, a free, general-purpose, " *
"legally unencumbered, lossless data-compression library"
fh = GZip.open("outfile.gz", "w")
write(fh, s)
...
close(fh)See the documentation for additional information.
