Subject: How to gunzip a binary on the fly
Date: Fri, 27 Dec 1996 16:01:38 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <jarausch-961227160137.A0117741@numa1> (raw)
Hello,
does anybody know how to gunzip a gzipped binary file just for executing it.
Is it possible to do so without an intermediate file - just piping it
into the shell.
Assume there is a file doit.gz
I would like a function exec_gz and invoke doit by exec_gz doit.gz
without
gunzip -c doit.gz >/tmp/doit
/tmp/doit
rm /tmp/doit
Thanks for any hints,
a Happy New Year to all of you,
Helmut Jarausch.
