The built binary can then be used directly or copied inside a folder that is available in your
`PATH` environment variable.
Pragzip can be used like this:
```bash
marie@compute$ pragzip -d <file_to_decompress>
```
For example, if you want to decompress a file called `data.gz`, use:
```console
marie@compute$ pragzip -d data.gz
```
Furthermore, you can use it to speed up extraction of a file `my-archive.tar.gz` like this:
```console
marie@compute$ tar --use-compress-program=pragzip -xf my-archive.tar.gz
```
Pragzip is still in development, so if it crashes or if it is slower than the system `gzip`,
please [open an issue](https://github.com/mxmlnkn/pragzip/issues) on GitHub.
