GZip.jl: A Julia interface for gzip functions in zlib

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.

Usage

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)
