fuse.gunzip is a filesystem for FUSE that provides
transparent decompression of files. The goal is to
expedite reading of files by reducing both file
size and fragmentation. fuse.gunzip is not a real
filesystem such as ext2 or ext3. fuse.gunzip is a
virtual proxy filesystem. Compressed files appear
as uncompressed when read by the kernel or
processes through fuse.gunzip. Any type of file
can be compressed.
