| # Gzip | |
| Gzip ([RFC 1952](https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1952.txt)) is a thin wrapper | |
| around raw deflate (RFC 1951). Gzip is similar to zlib (RFC 1950), but with a | |
| different wire format and checksum algorithm. | |
| Gzip is used as an HTTP compression format and as a standalone file format for | |
| the `gzip`, `gunzip` and `zcat` utility programs. | |
| TODO: a worked example. |
