USAGE
: av_ziplines [block length]
Compress stdin to a gzip file, where each <block length>
bytes of the compressed file is a separately unzippable gzip
file, and begins on a line boundary.
Default
block length is 1 megabyte, which adds negligible overhead.
100K seems a good choice, which adds one or two percent to
the zipped file size.
