However, unlike gzip(1), dictzip(1) compresses +the file in pieces and stores an index to the pieces in the gzip header. +This allows random access to the file at the granularity of the compressed +pieces (currently about 64kB) while maintaining good compression ratios +(within 5% of the expected ratio for dictionary data). dictd(8) uses files +stored in this format. |
