PSCompression is a PowerShell Module that provides Zip and Gzip utilities for compression, expansion and management. It also solves a few issues with Zip compression existing in _built-in PowerShell_.
## What does this Module offer?
### Zip Cmdlets
Cmdlet
Description
[`Get-ZipEntry`](docs/en-US/Get-ZipEntry.md)
Lists entries from specified zip archives. This cmdlet is the main entry point for the ZipEntry cmdlets in this module.
[`Expand-ZipEntry`](docs/en-US/Expand-ZipEntry.md)
Expands zip entries outputted by the [`Get-ZipEntry`](docs/en-US/Get-ZipEntry.md) command to a
destination directory.
[`Get-ZipEntryContent`](docs/en-US/Get-ZipEntryContent.md)
Gets the content of one or more zip entries.
[`New-ZipEntry`](docs/en-US/New-ZipEntry.md)
Creates zip entries from specified path or paths.
[`Remove-ZipEntry`](docs/en-US/Remove-ZipEntry.md)
Removes zip entries from one or more zip archives.
[`Rename-ZipEntry`](docs/en-US/Rename-ZipEntry.md)
Renames zip entries from one or more zip archives.
[`Set-ZipEntryContent`](docs/en-US/Set-ZipEntryContent.md)
Sets or appends content to a zip entry.
[`Compress-ZipArchive`](docs/en-US/Compress-ZipArchive.md)
Similar capabilities as
[`Compress-Archive`](docs/en-US/https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/microsoft.powershell.archive/compress-archive?view=powershell-7.2)
and overcomes a few issues with the built-in cmdlet (2 GB limit and more).
### Gzip Cmdlets
Cmdlet
Description
[`Compress-GzipArchive`](docs/en-US/Compress-GzipArchive.md)
Can compress one or more specified file paths into a Gzip file.
[`ConvertFrom-GzipString`](docs/en-US/ConvertFrom-GzipString.md)
Expands Gzip Base64 input strings.
[`ConvertTo-GzipString`](docs/en-US/ConvertTo-GzipString.md)
Can compress input strings into Gzip Base64 strings or raw bytes.
[`Expand-GzipArchive`](docs/en-US/Expand-GzipArchive.md)
Expands Gzip compressed files to a destination path or to the [success stream](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/microsoft.powershell.core/about/about_output_streams?view=powershell-7.3#success-stream).
