1*pi_gzip.txt* For Vim version 7.3. Last change: 2002 Oct 29 2 3 4 VIM REFERENCE MANUAL by Bram Moolenaar 5 6 7Editing compressed files with Vim *gzip* *bzip2* *compress* 8 91. Autocommands |gzip-autocmd| 10 11The functionality mentioned here is a |standard-plugin|. 12This plugin is only available if 'compatible' is not set. 13You can avoid loading this plugin by setting the "loaded_gzip" variable: > 14 :let loaded_gzip = 1 15 16{Vi does not have any of this} 17 18============================================================================== 191. Autocommands *gzip-autocmd* 20 21The plugin installs autocommands to intercept reading and writing of files 22with these extensions: 23 24 extension compression ~ 25 *.Z compress (Lempel-Ziv) 26 *.gz gzip 27 *.bz2 bzip2 28 29That's actually the only thing you need to know. There are no options. 30 31After decompressing a file, the filetype will be detected again. This will 32make a file like "foo.c.gz" get the "c" filetype. 33 34If you have 'patchmode' set, it will be appended after the extension for 35compression. Thus editing the patchmode file will not give you the automatic 36decompression. You have to rename the file if you want this. 37 38============================================================================== 39 vim:tw=78:ts=8:ft=help:norl: 40
