It should be very close.  I wrote it to be a drop-in replacement.

As I recall there is a difference in the way arguments are processed.  =
pigz considers the arguments to be an ordered series of instructions, =
whereas I think gzip looks at all of the options first and them applies =
them to all of the names.  Someone reported that as an issue when they =
tried to drop it in where the gzip options followed the name.

pigz does not have unlzh or unpack.  pigz does decompress Unix compress =
files.

pigz currently only compiles on Unix-ish systems with pthreads.

The super part of the superset includes parallel compression with a =
speedup of about n for n cores (and limited parallel improvement on =
decompression), rsyncable compression, compression and decompression of =
zlib and single-entry zip format, and zopfli maximal, but really slow, =
compression.

gzip124 1.2.4 (18 Aug 93)
usage: gzip124 [-cdfhlLnNrtvV19] [-S suffix] [file ...]
 -c --stdout      write on standard output, keep original files =
unchanged
 -d --decompress  decompress
 -f --force       force overwrite of output file and compress links

 -l --list        list compressed file contents
 -L --license     display software license

 -9 --best        compress better
 file...          files to (de)compress. If none given, use standard =
input.



Usage: gzip16 [OPTION]... [FILE]...
Compress or uncompress FILEs (by default, compress FILES in-place).

Mandatory arguments to long options are mandatory for short options too.

  -c, --stdout      write on standard output, keep original files =
unchanged
  -d, --decompress  decompress
  -f, --force       force overwrite of output file and compress links
  -h, --help        give this help

  -1, --fast        compress faster
  -9, --best        compress better

With no FILE, or when FILE is -, read standard input.

Report bugs to <bug-gzip@HIDDEN>.



Usage: pigz [options] [files ...]
  will compress files in place, adding the suffix '.gz'.  If no files =
are
  specified, stdin will be compressed to stdout.  pigz does what gzip =
does,
  but spreads the work over multiple processors and cores when =
compressing.

Options:
  -0 to -9, -11        Compression level (11 is much slower, a few % =
better)
  --fast, --best       Compression levels 1 and 9 respectively
  -b, --blocksize mmm  Set compression block size to mmmK (default 128K)

Hi Mark,

How close is pigz to being a strict superset of the functionality of gzip?
I.e., would we lose anything if we were to install pigz with the name gzip?

As a side note, there already is a gzip replacement that I wrote that =
uses zlib and that also provides parallel compression called pigz.
