header of a file compressed by gzip

[nextstep]

Hi everyone,

Can I extend the header of a file compressed by gzip? I mean I can insert more information to the start of header file, can't I?

Thanks

What do you mean by "header of a file"?

Hi,

I mean I want to modify header of gzip file. I figured out in gzip RFC that having some field I can insert my data in it as extra fields so I don't know how to do it and I am not sure is it possible?

Could you give me some suggestions please

Any help is appreciated!

gzip is a software product and not really anything to do with C++.

You might contact the gzip support group with your question.
