Can someone explain what hunzip is for?












1















I understand what hunspell is for, but I was browsing the source code and the man, and I'm not sure:



Does hunzip compress text files or just dictionaries ?

          hunzip is a decompression tool. For compression you want to look at hzip.
          Both will operate on text files, but they are optimized for working with sorted dictionaries and word lists.
