I receive some data that is a gzip file made of concatenated smaller gzip files. The larger file is a valid gzip according to the rfc. Everything works fine unless I need to look at the original filename or mtime of the gz streams. So... I created a program to print out the original filename and mtime from the header information in all the gzip streams in a gz file.
https://github.com/awcoleman/PrintGZHeader
Compile: gcc -o printGZHeader printGZHeader.c -lz
And run: ./printGZHeader myGZfile.gz
My C is very rusty, I will happily accept any patches to clean up bad practices. My test files do not have header comments or extra fields, please send patches if you find that the code does not work appropriately on them (or send me a test file and I will try).
Hopefully this saves someone else a little bit of time.
