Compress files into GNU zip files
gzip(files)
gzip(files,outputdir)
filenames = gzip(...)
gzip(files) creates GNU
zip files from the list of files specified in files.
Directories recursively gzip all their contents.
Each output gzipped file is written to the same directory as the input
file and with the file extension .gz.
files is a character vector or cell array
of character vectors containing a list of files or directories to gzip.
Individual files that are on the MATLAB® path can be specified
as partial path names. Otherwise, an individual file can be specified
relative to the current directory or with an absolute path.
Folders
must be specified relative to the current folder or with absolute
paths. On UNIX® systems, folders can also start with ~/ or ~username/,
which expands to the current user's home folder or the specified user's
home folder, respectively. The wildcard character * can
be used when specifying files or folders, except when relying on the MATLAB path
to resolve a file name or partial path name.
gzip(files,outputdir) writes
the gzipped files into the directory outputdir.
If outputdir does not exist, MATLAB creates
it.
filenames = gzip(...) gzips
the files and returns the relative path names of all gzipped files
in filenames.
To gzip all .m and .mat files
in the current directory and store the results in the directory archive,
type:
gzip({'*.m','*.mat'},'archive');
