<para>
This module enables you to transparently read and write
gzip (.gz) compressed files, through versions of most of
the <link linkend="book.filesystem">filesystem</link> functions
which work with gzip-compressed files (and uncompressed files,
too, but not with sockets).
</para>
<note>
<para>
Version 4.0.4 introduced a fopen-wrapper for .gz-files, so that
you can use a special <filename>zlib:</filename> URL to access
compressed files transparently using the normal f*() file access
functions if you prefix the filename or path with
<filename>zlib:</filename> when calling <function>fopen</function>. This
feature requires a C runtime library that provides the
<literal>fopencookie()</literal> function. Up to now the GNU libc
seems to be the only library that provides this feature.
</para>
<para>
In PHP 4.3.0, <filename>zlib:</filename> has been changed to
<filename>compress.zlib://</filename> to prevent ambiguities with
filenames containing ':' characters. The
<literal>fopencookie()</literal> function is not longer required.
More information is available in the section about
<xref linkend="wrappers.compression" />.
