> Compress executable files while keeping them executable.
|
|
> Back up the original file, appending `~` to its name and create a shell script that uncompresses and executes the binary inside it.

|
- Compress an executable file in-place:
|
|
|
|
`gzexe {{path/to/executable}}`
|
|
|
|
- Decompress a compressed executable in-place (i.e. convert the shell script back to an uncompressed binary):
|
|
|
|
`gzexe -d {{path/to/compressed_executable}}`
