GNU Zip

GNU zip is a widely used compression program that compresses files to save storage space and speed up data transfers. Here’s a quick rundown:

Usage: Gzip is commonly used in web servers, like Apache and Nginx, to compress HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and other web content before it’s sent to browsers.
Purpose: Gzip reduces the size of files, making it faster to transfer them over the internet. It’s especially popular for compressing website content, as it reduces page load times and improves user experience.
Functionality: Gzip compresses data using the DEFLATE algorithm, which is a combination of LZ77 and Huffman coding. This algorithm is efficient for both compression and decompression.
File Extensions: Files compressed by Gzip have the .gz extension.
