| Abstract | ||||
|  | ||||
|    This specification defines a lossless compressed data format that is | ||||
|    compatible with the widely used GZIP utility.  The format includes a | ||||
|    cyclic redundancy check value for detecting data corruption.  The | ||||
|    format presently uses the DEFLATE method of compression but can be | ||||
|    easily extended to use other compression methods.  The format can be | ||||
|    implemented readily in a manner not covered by patents. | ||||

| 1. Introduction | ||||
|  | ||||
|    1.1. Purpose | ||||
|  | ||||
|       The purpose of this specification is to define a lossless | ||||
|       compressed data format that: | ||||
|  | ||||
|           * Is independent of CPU type, operating system, file system, | ||||
|             and character set, and hence can be used for interchange; | ||||
|           * Can compress or decompress a data stream (as opposed to a | ||||
|             randomly accessible file) to produce another data stream, | ||||
|             using only an a priori bounded amount of intermediate | ||||
|             storage, and hence can be used in data communications or | ||||
|             similar structures such as Unix filters; | ||||
|           * Compresses data with efficiency comparable to the best | ||||
|             currently available general-purpose compression methods, | ||||
|             and in particular considerably better than the "compress" | ||||
|             program; | ||||
|           * Can be implemented readily in a manner not covered by | ||||
|             patents, and hence can be practiced freely; | ||||
|           * Is compatible with the file format produced by the current | ||||
|             widely used gzip utility, in that conforming decompressors | ||||
|             will be able to read data produced by the existing gzip | ||||
|             compressor. | ||||
|  | ||||

|  | ||||
| RFC 1952             GZIP File Format Specification             May 1996 | ||||
|  | ||||
|  | ||||
|       The data format defined by this specification does not attempt to: | ||||
|  | ||||
|           * Provide random access to compressed data; | ||||
|           * Compress specialized data (e.g., raster graphics) as well as | ||||
|             the best currently available specialized algorithms. | ||||
|  | ||||
|    1.2. Intended audience | ||||
|  | ||||
|       This specification is intended for use by implementors of software | ||||
|       to compress data into gzip format and/or decompress data from gzip | ||||
|       format. | ||||
|  | ||||
|       The text of the specification assumes a basic background in | ||||
|       programming at the level of bits and other primitive data | ||||
|       representations. | ||||
|  | ||||
|    1.3. Scope | ||||
|  | ||||
|       The specification specifies a compression method and a file format | ||||
|       (the latter assuming only that a file can store a sequence of | ||||
|       arbitrary bytes).  It does not specify any particular interface to | ||||
|       a file system or anything about character sets or encodings | ||||
|       (except for file names and comments, which are optional). | ||||
|  | ||||
|    1.4. Compliance | ||||
|  | ||||
|       Unless otherwise indicated below, a compliant decompressor must be | ||||
|       able to accept and decompress any file that conforms to all the | ||||
|       specifications presented here; a compliant compressor must produce | ||||
|       files that conform to all the specifications presented here.  The | ||||
|       material in the appendices is not part of the specification per se | ||||
|       and is not relevant to compliance. | ||||
|  | ||||
|    1.5. Definitions of terms and conventions used | ||||
|  | ||||
|       byte: 8 bits stored or transmitted as a unit (same as an octet). | ||||
|       (For this specification, a byte is exactly 8 bits, even on | ||||
|       machines which store a character on a number of bits different | ||||
|       from 8.)  See below for the numbering of bits within a byte. | ||||
|  | ||||
|    1.6. Changes from previous versions | ||||
|  | ||||
|       There have been no technical changes to the gzip format since | ||||
|       version 4.1 of this specification.  In version 4.2, some | ||||
|       terminology was changed, and the sample CRC code was rewritten for | ||||
|       clarity and to eliminate the requirement for the caller to do pre- | ||||
|       and post-conditioning.  Version 4.3 is a conversion of the | ||||
|       specification to RFC style. | ||||

| 2. Detailed specification | ||||
|  | ||||
|    2.1. Overall conventions | ||||
|  | ||||
|       In the diagrams below, a box like this: | ||||
|  | ||||
|          +---+ | ||||
|          |   | <-- the vertical bars might be missing | ||||
|          +---+ | ||||
|  | ||||
|       represents one byte; a box like this: | ||||
|  | ||||
|          +==============+ | ||||
|          |              | | ||||
|          +==============+ | ||||
|  | ||||
|       represents a variable number of bytes. | ||||
|  | ||||
|       Bytes stored within a computer do not have a "bit order", since | ||||
|       they are always treated as a unit.  However, a byte considered as | ||||
|       an integer between 0 and 255 does have a most- and least- | ||||
|       significant bit, and since we write numbers with the most- | ||||
|       significant digit on the left, we also write bytes with the most- | ||||
|       significant bit on the left.  In the diagrams below, we number the | ||||
|       bits of a byte so that bit 0 is the least-significant bit, i.e., | ||||
|       the bits are numbered: | ||||
|  | ||||
|          +--------+ | ||||
|          |76543210| | ||||
|          +--------+ | ||||
|  | ||||
|       This document does not address the issue of the order in which | ||||
|       bits of a byte are transmitted on a bit-sequential medium, since | ||||
|       the data format described here is byte- rather than bit-oriented. | ||||
|  | ||||
|       Within a computer, a number may occupy multiple bytes.  All | ||||
|       multi-byte numbers in the format described here are stored with | ||||
|       the least-significant byte first (at the lower memory address). | ||||
|       For example, the decimal number 520 is stored as: | ||||
|  | ||||
|              0        1 | ||||
|          +--------+--------+ | ||||
|          |00001000|00000010| | ||||
|          +--------+--------+ | ||||
|           ^        ^ | ||||
|           |        | | ||||
|           |        + more significant byte = 2 x 256 | ||||
|           + less significant byte = 8 | ||||

|  | ||||
|  | ||||
|    2.2. File format | ||||
|  | ||||
|       A gzip file consists of a series of "members" (compressed data | ||||
|       sets).  The format of each member is specified in the following | ||||
|       section.  The members simply appear one after another in the file, | ||||
|       with no additional information before, between, or after them. | ||||
|  | ||||
|    2.3. Member format | ||||
|  | ||||
|       Each member has the following structure: | ||||
|  | ||||
|          +---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+ | ||||
|          |ID1|ID2|CM |FLG|     MTIME     |XFL|OS | (more-->) | ||||
|          +---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+---+ | ||||
|  | ||||

|       (if FLG.FNAME set) | ||||
|  | ||||
|          +=========================================+ | ||||
|          |...original file name, zero-terminated...| (more-->) | ||||
|          +=========================================+ | ||||

| RFC 1952             GZIP File Format Specification             May 1996 | ||||
|  | ||||
|  | ||||
|       2.3.1. Member header and trailer | ||||
|  | ||||
|          ID1 (IDentification 1) | ||||
|          ID2 (IDentification 2) | ||||
|             These have the fixed values ID1 = 31 (0x1f, \037), ID2 = 139 | ||||
|             (0x8b, \213), to identify the file as being in gzip format. | ||||
|  | ||||
|          CM (Compression Method) | ||||
|             This identifies the compression method used in the file.  CM | ||||
|             = 0-7 are reserved.  CM = 8 denotes the "deflate" | ||||
|             compression method, which is the one customarily used by | ||||
|             gzip and which is documented elsewhere. | ||||
|  | ||||
|          FLG (FLaGs) | ||||
|             This flag byte is divided into individual bits as follows: | ||||
|  | ||||
|                bit 0   FTEXT | ||||
|                bit 1   FHCRC | ||||
|                bit 2   FEXTRA | ||||
|                bit 3   FNAME | ||||
|                bit 4   FCOMMENT | ||||
|                bit 5   reserved | ||||
|                bit 6   reserved | ||||
|                bit 7   reserved | ||||
|  | ||||
|             If FTEXT is set, the file is probably ASCII text.  This is | ||||
|             an optional indication, which the compressor may set by | ||||
|             checking a small amount of the input data to see whether any | ||||
|             non-ASCII characters are present.  In case of doubt, FTEXT | ||||
|             is cleared, indicating binary data. For systems which have | ||||
|             different file formats for ascii text and binary data, the | ||||
|             decompressor can use FTEXT to choose the appropriate format. | ||||
|             We deliberately do not specify the algorithm used to set | ||||
|             this bit, since a compressor always has the option of | ||||
|             leaving it cleared and a decompressor always has the option | ||||
|             of ignoring it and letting some other program handle issues | ||||
|             of data conversion. | ||||
|  | ||||
|             If FHCRC is set, a CRC16 for the gzip header is present, | ||||
|             immediately before the compressed data. The CRC16 consists | ||||
|             of the two least significant bytes of the CRC32 for all | ||||
|             bytes of the gzip header up to and not including the CRC16. | ||||
|             [The FHCRC bit was never set by versions of gzip up to | ||||
|             1.2.4, even though it was documented with a different | ||||
|             meaning in gzip 1.2.4.] | ||||
|  | ||||
|             If FEXTRA is set, optional extra fields are present, as | ||||
|             described in a following section. | ||||
|  | ||||
|  | ||||

|  | ||||
|  | ||||
|             If FNAME is set, an original file name is present, | ||||
|             terminated by a zero byte.  The name must consist of ISO | ||||
|             8859-1 (LATIN-1) characters; on operating systems using | ||||
|             EBCDIC or any other character set for file names, the name | ||||
|             must be translated to the ISO LATIN-1 character set.  This | ||||
|             is the original name of the file being compressed, with any | ||||
|             directory components removed, and, if the file being | ||||
|             compressed is on a file system with case insensitive names, | ||||
|             forced to lower case. There is no original file name if the | ||||
|             data was compressed from a source other than a named file; | ||||
|             for example, if the source was stdin on a Unix system, there | ||||
|             is no file name. | ||||
|  | ||||
|             If FCOMMENT is set, a zero-terminated file comment is | ||||
|             present.  This comment is not interpreted; it is only | ||||
|             intended for human consumption.  The comment must consist of | ||||
|             ISO 8859-1 (LATIN-1) characters.  Line breaks should be | ||||
|             denoted by a single line feed character (10 decimal). | ||||
|  | ||||
|             Reserved FLG bits must be zero. | ||||
|  | ||||
|          MTIME (Modification TIME) | ||||
|             This gives the most recent modification time of the original | ||||
|             file being compressed.  The time is in Unix format, i.e., | ||||
|             seconds since 00:00:00 GMT, Jan.  1, 1970.  (Note that this | ||||
|             may cause problems for MS-DOS and other systems that use | ||||
|             local rather than Universal time.)  If the compressed data | ||||
|             did not come from a file, MTIME is set to the time at which | ||||
|             compression started.  MTIME = 0 means no time stamp is | ||||
|             available. | ||||
|  | ||||
|          XFL (eXtra FLags) | ||||
|             These flags are available for use by specific compression | ||||
|             methods.  The "deflate" method (CM = 8) sets these flags as | ||||
|             follows: | ||||
|  | ||||
|                XFL = 2 - compressor used maximum compression, | ||||
|                          slowest algorithm | ||||
|                XFL = 4 - compressor used fastest algorithm | ||||
|  | ||||

|          XLEN (eXtra LENgth) | ||||
|             If FLG.FEXTRA is set, this gives the length of the optional | ||||
|             extra field.  See below for details. | ||||
|  | ||||
|          CRC32 (CRC-32) | ||||
|             This contains a Cyclic Redundancy Check value of the | ||||
|             uncompressed data computed according to CRC-32 algorithm | ||||
|             used in the ISO 3309 standard and in section 8.1.1.6.2 of | ||||
|             ITU-T recommendation V.42.  (See http://www.iso.ch for | ||||
|             ordering ISO documents. See gopher://info.itu.ch for an | ||||
|             online version of ITU-T V.42.) | ||||
|  | ||||
|          ISIZE (Input SIZE) | ||||
|             This contains the size of the original (uncompressed) input | ||||
|             data modulo 2^32. | ||||
|  | ||||
|       2.3.1.1. Extra field | ||||
|  | ||||
|          If the FLG.FEXTRA bit is set, an "extra field" is present in | ||||
|          the header, with total length XLEN bytes.  It consists of a | ||||
|          series of subfields, each of the form: | ||||
|  | ||||
|             +---+---+---+---+==================================+ | ||||
|             |SI1|SI2|  LEN  |... LEN bytes of subfield data ...| | ||||
|             +---+---+---+---+==================================+ | ||||
|  | ||||
|          SI1 and SI2 provide a subfield ID, typically two ASCII letters | ||||
|          with some mnemonic value.  Jean-Loup Gailly | ||||
|          <gzip@prep.ai.mit.edu> is maintaining a registry of subfield | ||||
|          IDs; please send him any subfield ID you wish to use.  Subfield | ||||
|          IDs with SI2 = 0 are reserved for future use.  The following | ||||
|          IDs are currently defined: | ||||

|             0x41 ('A')  0x70 ('P')  Apollo file type information | ||||
|  | ||||
|          LEN gives the length of the subfield data, excluding the 4 | ||||
|          initial bytes. | ||||
|  | ||||
|       2.3.1.2. Compliance | ||||
|  | ||||
|          A compliant compressor must produce files with correct ID1, | ||||
|          ID2, CM, CRC32, and ISIZE, but may set all the other fields in | ||||
|          the fixed-length part of the header to default values (255 for | ||||
|          OS, 0 for all others).  The compressor must set all reserved | ||||
|          bits to zero. | ||||
|  | ||||
|          A compliant decompressor must check ID1, ID2, and CM, and | ||||
|          provide an error indication if any of these have incorrect | ||||
|          values.  It must examine FEXTRA/XLEN, FNAME, FCOMMENT and FHCRC | ||||
|          at least so it can skip over the optional fields if they are | ||||
|          present.  It need not examine any other part of the header or | ||||
|          trailer; in particular, a decompressor may ignore FTEXT and OS | ||||
|          and always produce binary output, and still be compliant.  A | ||||
|          compliant decompressor must give an error indication if any | ||||
|          reserved bit is non-zero, since such a bit could indicate the | ||||
|          presence of a new field that would cause subsequent data to be | ||||
|          interpreted incorrectly. | ||||

| 4. Security Considerations | ||||
|  | ||||
|    Any data compression method involves the reduction of redundancy in | ||||
|    the data.  Consequently, any corruption of the data is likely to have | ||||
|    severe effects and be difficult to correct.  Uncompressed text, on | ||||
|    the other hand, will probably still be readable despite the presence | ||||
|    of some corrupted bytes. | ||||
|  | ||||
|    It is recommended that systems using this data format provide some | ||||
|    means of validating the integrity of the compressed data, such as by | ||||
|    setting and checking the CRC-32 check value. | ||||

| 7. Appendix: Jean-Loup Gailly's gzip utility | ||||
|  | ||||
|    The most widely used implementation of gzip compression, and the | ||||
|    original documentation on which this specification is based, were | ||||
|    created by Jean-Loup Gailly <gzip@prep.ai.mit.edu>.  Since this | ||||
|    implementation is a de facto standard, we mention some more of its | ||||
|    features here.  Again, the material in this section is not part of | ||||
|    the specification per se, and implementations need not follow it to | ||||
|    be compliant. | ||||
|  | ||||
|    When compressing or decompressing a file, gzip preserves the | ||||
|    protection, ownership, and modification time attributes on the local | ||||
|    file system, since there is no provision for representing protection | ||||
|    attributes in the gzip file format itself.  Since the file format | ||||
|    includes a modification time, the gzip decompressor provides a | ||||
|    command line switch that assigns the modification time from the file, | ||||
|    rather than the local modification time of the compressed input, to | ||||
|    the decompressed output. | ||||
|  | ||||
| 8. Appendix: Sample CRC Code | ||||
|  | ||||
|    The following sample code represents a practical implementation of | ||||
|    the CRC (Cyclic Redundancy Check). (See also ISO 3309 and ITU-T V.42 | ||||
|    for a formal specification.) | ||||
|  | ||||
|    The sample code is in the ANSI C programming language. Non C users | ||||
|    may find it easier to read with these hints: | ||||
|  | ||||
|       &      Bitwise AND operator. | ||||
|       ^      Bitwise exclusive-OR operator. | ||||
|       >>     Bitwise right shift operator. When applied to an | ||||
|              unsigned quantity, as here, right shift inserts zero | ||||
|              bit(s) at the left. | ||||
|       !      Logical NOT operator. | ||||
|       ++     "n++" increments the variable n. | ||||
|       0xNNN  0x introduces a hexadecimal (base 16) constant. | ||||
|              Suffix L indicates a long value (at least 32 bits). | ||||
|  | ||||
|       /* Table of CRCs of all 8-bit messages. */ | ||||
|       unsigned long crc_table[256]; | ||||
|  | ||||
|       /* Flag: has the table been computed? Initially false. */ | ||||
