7zip - Does GZip support multi-part file compression? -
i have been looking around if gzip supports multi-part file compression. have seen far not, how come 7z allows multipart compression when gzip selected compression? mean 7z takes care of multi-partitioning internally?
gzip doesn't support multipart archives, can still create them using split
:
split -–bytes=20m /path/to/large/archive /path/to/output/files
now, put together, cat
parts one:
cat files* > archive
as far can tell, 7-zip when creating archives. might add header information, dumps 20mb of data file , appends number after name. then, internally, assembles parts , reads archive.
