What is pigz FOR MAC?
pigz (standing for Parallel Implementation of GZip) is an open source and fully functional replacement for gzip that exploits multiple processors and multiple cores to the hilt when compressing data.
pigz was developed by Mark Adler, and it uses the zlib and pthread libraries.
This version of pigz is written to be portable across Unix-style operating systems that provide the zlib and pthread libraries.
Type "make" in this directory to build the "pigz" executable. You can then install the executable wherever you like in your path (e.g. /usr/local/bin/). Type "pigz" to see the command help and all of the command options.
