    Interesting stuff! It&#x27;s a little odd that gzip itself won&#x27;t display (or sometimes even write) these values. Another tool that displays some of these values is file(1), at least with Debian&#x27;s libmagic-mgc, for example:<p><pre><code> gzip compressed data, was &quot;file.txt&quot;, last modified: Sun Mar 1 20:21:34 2026, from Unix, original size modulo 2^32 5 gzip compressed data, extra field, has comment, last modified: Wed Dec 20 10:30:35 2017, from Unix </code></pre> (weirdly enough, it doesn&#x27;t show the actual comment string)
