:sig String gz_compress(String src) :params src : uncompressed input bytes return value : gzip-format compressed bytes :see >sys gz_uncompress zip_create zip_read :content Compresses `src` and returns a gzip-format byte string. The result is binary data. Store it in a file, send it with an appropriate content type/encoding, or pass it directly to `gz_uncompress()`. ```uce String compressed = gz_compress("hello\n"); file_put_contents("/tmp/hello.txt.gz", compressed); ``` UCE writes a standard gzip wrapper around a deflate stream, including CRC32 and uncompressed-size footer fields.
