Man page doesn't say where to send bugs, unlike all other GNU man pages.

Man page says
       -t --test
              Test. Check the compressed file integrity.
It should also say "and quit"
like
       -V --version
              Version. Display the version number and compilation options then quit.
says.

Also
$ gunzip -t file.gz

gzip: file.gz: invalid compressed data--crc error

gzip: file.gz: invalid compressed data--length error

prints extra newlines.

$ gunzip -V
gzip 1.9
