You can get a real size by `gzip --list` command. Why to show the size in `gzip --test` output? Almost all other compressors (lzop, xz, bzip2, etc0 just shows the same message: filename: OK Even more, archive manages and other tools may try to parse the test command output and the change may have some impact. > this provides a way to view the stored file's size when it's larger than 4GiB. I didn't get it. Can you please elaborate on this: `gzip --list` can't show uncompressed size more than 4GiB? Regards, Sergey
