gzip default location

[Binu_5]

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

[Arunvijai_4 · Accepted solution]

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

I think it's /usr/bin/

Alex.

[Muthukumar_5]

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

11.11 and 11.23 is giving default location of /usr/contrib/bin/gunzip only ;). Check it out. which gunzip or whereis gunzip.

May be it is copied or linked.

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
