NAME
gzexe - compress executable files in place

SYNOPSIS
gzexe [ name ... ]

DESCRIPTION
The gzexe utility allows you to compress executables in place and
have them automatically uncompress and execute when you run them
(at a penalty in performance). For example if you execute "gzexe
/bin/cat" it will create the following two files:
-r-xr-xr-x 1 root bin 9644 Feb 11 11:16 /bin/cat
-r-xr-xr-x 1 bin bin 24576 Nov 23 13:21 /bin/cat~
/bin/cat~ is the original file and /bin/cat is the self-
uncompressing executable file. You can remove /bin/cat~ once you
are sure that /bin/cat works properly.

This utility is most useful on systems with very small disks.

OPTIONS
-d Decompress the given executables instead of compressing them.

SEE ALSO

BUGS
gzexe attempts to retain the original file attributes on the
compressed executable, but you may have to fix them manually in
some cases, using chmod or chown.
