The following fields in the dictionary value are understood. All other fields
are ignored. No field is required when creating a gzip-format stream.
-.TP
-\fBcomment\fR
-.
+.IP \fBcomment\fR
This holds the comment field of the header, if present. If absent, no comment
was supplied (on decompression) or will be created (on compression).
-.TP
-\fBcrc\fR
-.
+.IP \fBcrc\fR
A boolean value describing whether a CRC of the header is computed. Note that
the \fBgzip\fR program does \fInot\fR use or allow a CRC on the header.
-.TP
-\fBfilename\fR
-.
+.IP \fBfilename\fR
The name of the file that held the uncompressed data. This should not contain
any directory separators, and should be sanitized before use on decompression
with \fBfile tail\fR.
-.TP
-\fBos\fR
-.
+.IP \fBos\fR
The operating system type code field from the header (if not the
.QW unknown
value). See RFC 1952 for the meaning of these codes. On compression, if this
is absent then the field will be set to the
.QW unknown
value.
-.TP
-\fBsize\fR
-.
+.IP \fBsize\fR
The size of the uncompressed data. This is ignored on compression; the size
of the data compressed depends on how much data is supplied to the
compression engine.
-.TP
-\fBtime\fR
-.
+.IP \fBtime\fR
The time field from the header if non-zero, expected to be the time that the
file named by the \fBfilename\fR field was modified. Suitable for use with
\fBclock format\fR. On creation, the right value to use is that from
\fBclock seconds\fR or \fBfile mtime\fR.
-.TP
-\fBtype\fR
-.
+.IP \fBtype\fR
The type of the uncompressed data (either \fBbinary\fR or \fBtext\fR) if
known.
