gzip:tldr:26e62

The command gzip -c ${file-ext} > ${compressed_file-ext-gz} compresses a file using gzip and redirects the compressed output to a new file.

Here is a breakdown of the command:

• gzip: This is the command-line program that is used for file compression in Unix-like systems.
• -c: This is an option for the gzip command that tells it to send the compressed output to the standard output instead of creating a new file.
• ${file-ext}: This is a variable placeholder that represents the filename or path of the file you want to compress. You would need to replace ${file-ext} with the actual filename or path, including the file extension.
• >: This is a redirection operator in Unix-like systems that redirects the output of a command to a file instead of the standard output. In this case, it redirects the compressed output of gzip to the next part of the command.
• ${compressed_file-ext-gz}: This is another variable placeholder that represents the name and path of the compressed file you want to create. You will need to replace ${compressed_file-ext-gz} with the desired filename and extension, ending with .gz.

To use the command, replace ${file-ext} with the actual file you want to compress and ${compressed_file-ext-gz} with the desired name and path for the compressed file.
