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

16{Vi does not have any of this}

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.
