Installing the GenWQE hardware-accelerated zlib

Edit online

Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9.2 LPAR mode z/VM guest

Install the genwqe-zlib and genwqe-tools RPMs that are included in Red Hat® Enterprise Linux® 9.2.

The genwqe-zlib RPM includes the user space components of the GenWQE hardware-accelerated zlib.

The genwqe-tools RPM provides the following tools:
  • genwqe_gzip and genwqe_gunzip, which are GenWQE versions of gzip and gunzip.

    These tools can be used for most purposes, but they do not implement all of the more unusual options of their common code counterparts. See the man pages to find out which options are supported.

  • genwqe_echo, a tool to confirm the availability of accelerator hardware through the GenWQE accelerated zlib.
