  - WPA Control Interface Reference
    This document provides a reference for the Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) control interface, which provides a C API for the WPA/IEEE 802.11i protocols in Wi-Fi client stations. Application developers who want to control WPA operations and get associated status and event data should read this reference.
QNX Hypervisor
The QNX Hypervisor allows you to run multiple OSs on a target system so you can separate critical and non-critical functions, support a wide variety of applications, and reduce hardware costs.
QNX Software in the Cloud
QNX Software in the Cloud enables developers to use the QNX software in Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Microsoft Azure (Azure).
QNX Advanced Virtualization Frameworks User's Guide

gzip

Compress or expand files (UNIX)

Runs on:

QNX Neutrino

Description:

The gzip utility reduces the size of the named files, using Lempel-Ziv coding (LZ77).

Use the following command to access help for gzip:

gzip --help

The gzip utility is provided as part of the toybox package. For more information, see toybox.
