Gzip Data Stream Error
a compression program that resulted in a crc error when I tried to unzip the compressed data. Normally this means that the decompressor actually recognized my data as being in the right format and decompressed it, but when it compared the result to the expected length as indicated by the CRC, they weren't the same. However, for comparison reasons, I actually do want to see the output to see if it's just a concatenation issue (which should be relatively gzip recovery toolkit obvious if the decompressed output isn't gibberish but just in the wrong order). java gzip decompression share|improve this question edited Oct 31 '12 at 1:13 alphazero 21.8k32124 asked Oct 31 '12 at 0:53 user1777900 4391719 add a comment| 2 Answers 2 active oldest votes up vote 7 down vote You said "unzip", but the question says "gzip". Which is it? Those are two different programs that operate on two different formats. I will assume gzip. Also the length is not "indicated by the CRC". The gzip trailer contains a CRC and an uncompressed length (modulo 232), which are two different things. The gzip command will decompress all valid deflate data and write it out before checking the crc. So if, for example, I take a .gz file and corrupt just the crc (or length) at the end, and do: gzip -dc < corrupt.gz > result then result will be the entire, correct uncompressed data stream. There is no need to modify and recompile gzip, nor to write your own ungzipper. gzip will complain about the crc, but all of the data will be written nevertheless. share|improve this answer edited Nov 1 '12 at 3:29 Greg Hewgill 511k1088801044 answered Oct 31 '12 at 5:13 Mark Adler 35.2k63773 add a comment| up vote 0 down vote As far as I'm aware, the CRC check is part of the GZIP wrapper, not part of the actual compress

This patch to gzip 1.2.4 fixes the problem. The beta version 1.3.3 already includes a sufficient patch; use

this version if you have to handle files larger than 2 GB. A new official version of gzip will be released soon. Introduction gzip (GNU zip) is a compression http://stackoverflow.com/questions/13149751/force-gzip-to-decompress-despite-crc-error utility designed to be a replacement for compress. Its main advantages over compress are much better compression and freedom from patented algorithms. It has been adopted by the GNU project and is now relatively popular on the Internet. gzip was written by Jean-loup Gailly (jloup@gzip.org), and Mark Adler for the decompression code. gzip produces files with a .gz extension. http://www.gzip.org/ gunzip can decompress files created by gzip, compress or pack. The detection of the input format is automatic. The format of the .gz files generated by gzip is described in RFCs (Request For Comments) 1951 and 1952. Some additional information on the gzip format is given here. A brief description of the compression and decompression algorithms used by gzip is given here. A more informal introduction written by Antaeus Feldspar is given here. If you have a question about gzip, look first for an answer in this page. If you don't find it, write to support@gzip.org . Please give as much information as possible, at least the name of your operating system (Windows XP, Linux...), the exact command that you typed and the exact error messages that you get. If you just say "gzip doesn't work" I cannot provide any help. Sources The gzip sources, written in C, are available here in various formats: tar shar zip tar.gz (if you already have an old version of gzip) tar.Z Press the shift key then click

CRC stands for cyclic redundancy check. It http://kb.winzip.com/kb/entry/41/ is a calculation made from all the data in a file to insure accuracy. When you add a file to a Zip file, WinZip calculates a CRC value for the file and saves the value in the Zip file. When you later extract the file from the Zip file, WinZip calculates the CRC of the extracted file and compares it to the value stored when the file was zipped. If these two CRC invalid compressed values do not match, the file that was extracted does not match the original file, and WinZip will display a CRC Error message. When the data in a Zip file is damaged, it may not be possible to extract all of the files from the Zip file correctly. Damaged data can affect the entire Zip file, multiple files, or just one file. Why CRC Errors Occur There are many possible causes for data damage. invalid compressed data--format Among the most common is a transfer error when downloading a Zip file from the internet. Such an error can introduce invalid data into a Zip file. Some other possible causes include exposure of media to excessive temperatures or magnetic fields, cross linked disk sectors, and mechanical problems with disk drives. What to do if a CRC Error Occurs The best solution to the problem of a damaged Zip file is to try to obtain another copy of the file. For example, use your backup copy of the file or get a new copy from the original source. If you obtained the Zip file by downloading it, then downloading it again will almost always solve the problem. A "Last Resort" for CRC Errors If you cannot download a new copy of the Zip file, obtain a replacement disk, or use a backup copy, you may still be able to recover some of your files, and even save portions of the files that are damaged in the Zip file. Here is the recommended procedure. Start WinZip and open the damaged Zip file Use the current available method for unzipping files to a particular folder In the Unzip dialog, select a target folder and click Unzip (XP users - Select the All files/folders in archive radio button and click Extr
