`gunzip' takes a list of files on its command line and replaces each
-file whose name ends with `.gz', `.z', `.Z', `-gz', `-z' or `_z' and
-which begins with the correct magic number with an uncompressed file
-without the original extension. `gunzip' also recognizes the special

-respectively. When compressing, `gzip' uses the `.tgz' extension if
-necessary instead of truncating a file with a `.tar' extension.
