Gunzip(3)

okay bestie, welcome to Gunzip(3) from the User Contributed Perl Documentation — yes, that's the manual name, and this page is a whole little wrapper moment 🎀✨

✨ NAME ✨

XMLTV::Gunzip - Wrapper to Compress::Zlib or gzip(1) 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

use XMLTV::Gunzip;
my $decompressed = gunzip($gzdata);
my $fh = gunzip_open('file.gz') or die;
while (<$fh>) { print }

Bestie-level breakdown: Compress::Zlib will be used if installed, otherwise an external gzip will be spawned. gunzip() returns the decompressed data and throws an exception if things go wrong; gunzip_open() returns a filehandle, or undef. 💀
