Not in general, no. The compressed file can't be decompressed from
random locations.
There might be some options for doing what you're suggesting if
--rsyncable is used during compression (which it usually isn't)
Hi,
Is there a more efficient way to perform ztail. I could use 'zcat f.gz
| tail'. But this means that it needs to go through the file until the
end. It would be more efficient to just check the end (as `tail f.txt`
does it). Is there a way to make ztail more efficient?
