[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Hello Support,

The command gzip -k filename is not recognized on my RHEL 7 virtual machine. I am using gzip version 1.5.
I am able to use gzip filename with success. In addition, -k is not listed as an option in -help, but it is listed in your documentation as a way to keep the original file. Is there a way to zip a file but still keep the original file?

Your help is appreciated!

Thank you.

-k (—keep) was added in version 1.6.

You can pipe the output to keep the original. E.g.

    gzip -c something.txt > something.txt.gz

or similarly decompressing:

    gzip -dc something.txt.gz > something.txt

That's not surprising, since -k was added in gzip 1.6. Time to upgrade.
