gztool

gzip-compressed file indexer

Creating an index with line numbering info (`-x`), then showing its info (`-l`)

Showing detailed info about data stored in an index with `gztool -ll`

Extracting data from line 1.8*10^6 on an *incomplete* gzip w/o previous index

Description

gztool indexes gzip-compressed files, allowing them to be accessed randomly (instead of from the beginning). It can index existing files, which takes as much time as decompressing the file entirely; it can also compress and decompress files itself, creating optimised indexes as it goes.

Other features include:

- watch and index a gzip-compressed file as it is created;

- partially extract a gzip-compressed file;

- tail a gzip-compressed file (including follow mode).
