Gztool Versions Save

extract random-positioned data from gzip files with no penalty, including gzip tailing like with 'tail -f' !

v1.6.1

6 months ago
  • Patched incorrect malloc() length calculation after strlen(), raising a warning: '__builtin_sprintf' may write a terminating nul past the end of the destination [-Wformat-overflow=]

Please, note that there are packages available for Debian/Ubuntu systems on all hardware platforms: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:roberto.s.galende/gztool sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install gztool

v1.6.0

1 year ago
  • Added -Z option to adjust index points to a byte boundary, so no previous byte (bits) would be needed. This will result in index points spaced by more than -s MiB between then, and so, may be, less points in the index. But this is completely safe and sound.
