>The gzip kioslave is not directly usable, and is intended for use as a filter. For example, the tar kioslave can filter a file through the gzip kioslave, in order to display the contents of a <literal role="extension"
>tar.gz</literal
> file directly in a &konqueror; window.</para>
<para
>If you click on a file compressed with a <literal role="extension"
>gz</literal
> extension in &konqueror;, this kioslave is used to uncompress it and display it as a normal (uncompressed) file.</para>
