gzip default location

Binu_5 — Tue, 04 Oct 2005 06:02:25 GMT

Hi,

Need to know if gzip comes by default along with OS in hpux? If so is this the default location?

/usr/contrib/bin/gunzip

Yes, You are correct. it comes with the Core-OS .
# swlist -l file |grep -i gunzip
SW-DIST.GZIP: /usr/contrib/man/man1.Z/gunzip.1
SW-DIST.GZIP2: /usr/contrib/bin/gunzip

Yes. Based on depot configuration it will be located there. You can do one more thing as,

# ln -s /usr/contrib/bin/gunzip /usr/bin/gunzip

so that it will refer that.

Or else setup $PATH variable as,

/etc/PATH
/usr/contrib/bin

or

export PATH=$PATH:/usr/contrib/bin

for searching.

Alex, It's /usr/conrib/bin/gunzip on both 11.11 and 11.23. I am not sure it belongs to /usr/bin .

It is purly based on depot psf file. You can view it as,

# swlist SW-DIST.GZIP

If you want to you can set alias or ln. Path setting will be included with $PATH.

That's correct, It is based on PSF file, But nowhere in HP-UX 11.11 and 11.23, you can find gunzip at /usr/bin unless or untill you manually created a sym link.

Hi Binu

You can find the location of any command by using which or whereis commands
for example

if you want to see the location of gunzip command. do as follows

#which gunzip
/usr/contrib/bin/gunzip

#whereis gunzgzip
gzip: /usr/contrib/bin/gzip /usr/contrib/man/man1.Z/gzip.1ip

I did find an upgrade from the HP-UX archive center in Utah that installs it under usr/local:

# grep -E 'title|^directory|^revision' INDEX
revision 1.3.5
title "gzip"
directory /usr/local
