Autocommands *gzip-autocmd* 18 19The plugin installs autocommands to intercept reading and writing of files 20with these extensions: 21 22 extension compression ~ 23 *.Z compress (Lempel-Ziv) 24 *.gz gzip 25 *.bz2 bzip2 26 *.lzma lzma 27 *.xz xz 28 *.lz lzip 29 *.zst zstd 30 31That's actually the only thing you need to know. There are no options. 32 33After decompressing a file, the filetype will be detected again. This will 34make a file like "foo.c.gz" get the "c" filetype. 35 36If you have 'patchmode' set, it will be appended after the extension for 37compression. Thus editing the patchmode file will not give you the automatic 38decompression. You have to rename the file if you want this. 39 40============================================================================== 41 vim:tw=78:ts=8:noet:ft=help:norl: 42
