How gzip works
- Compresses scalar file paths, string arrays, cell arrays of paths, wildcard expansions, and files inside a folder.
- Writes .gz files beside each input by default or under the supplied output folder.
- Returns a cell array of generated gzip file paths.
Using gzip with coding agents
Open a RunMat example with live inputs, then ask the agent to explain how gzip changes the result.
Run a small gzip example, explain the result, then change one input and compare the output.
