GUNZIP(1)
NAME
gunzip.net — making compressed ideas readable.
SYNOPSIS
$ gunzip complex-idea.gz $ cat complex-idea
DESCRIPTION
Some concepts arrive compressed: dense, layered, awkward, or wrapped in unnecessary machinery.
We take complex ideas, decompress them, and make them understandable. Plain language. Plain systems. Plain text where possible.
BACKGROUND
gunzip is the traditional Unix command used to decompress
files created by gzip. It does one job, does it clearly,
and gets out of the way.
That is the spirit of this place.
EXAMPLE
$ printf "clarity\n" | gzip > idea.gz $ gunzip idea.gz $ cat idea clarity
