Z:gnu-man-db-manpages--139ea8-These utilities support compre/en

These utilities support compressed source nroff files having, by default, the extensions of B<.Z>, B<.z> and B<.gz>. It is possible to deal with any compression extension, but this information must be known at compile time. Also, by default, any cat pages produced are compressed using B. Each `global' manual page hierarchy such as I or I may have any directory as its cat page hierarchy. Traditionally the cat pages are stored under the same hierarchy as the man pages, but for reasons such as those specified in the B, it may be better to store them elsewhere. For details on how to do this, please read B (5). For details on why to do this, read the standard.
