11 lines from the bottom, the canonical extension for gzip |
compressed files was previously given as ".tar", when in fact gzip
produces files with the extension ".gz". The ".tar" extension is
used by the program "tar" which does multi-file archiving, but does
not provide any compression in and of itself. Hence software packages
which are distributed with the compound extension ".tar.gz" are a
compressed archive. ".gz" and ".tgz" are the extensions used for gzip
files and gzipped tar archives, respectively.
This point is worth making since tar and gzip binaries are available
on Windows as well as on Unix/Linux, and since there are even a few
packages of software for Windows which are distributed in this fashion
(e.g., emacs for Windows).
Line 11 used to read:
"The most standard file extensions are . . . and .tar, for GZIP
files on Unix."
Now reads:
"The most standard file extensions are . . . .gz, for GZIP
files on Unix; and .tgz for gzipped tar archives."
