 .Sh DESCRIPTION
 The
 .Nm
 utility is a minimal implementation of the
 .Xr gzip 1
 utility.
 It supports
 compression and decompression of individual files, as well as
 streaming compression and decompression via standard input and
 output.
 .Pp
 The default operation is compression, decompression can be
 selected by supplying the
 .Fl d
 flag on the command line.
 .Pp
 If any
 .Ar file
 arguments are supplied, the operation is performed on each file
 separately.
 Compression replaces the original file with one having a
 .Pa .gz
 suffix.
 Decompression will remove a
 .Pa .gz
 suffix if one is present.
 .Pp
 If no
 .Ar file
 arguments are supplied,
 .Nm
 reads from standard input and writes the results of the operation
 to standard output.
 .Pp
 If the
 .Fl c
 option is specified,
 .Nm
 writes the results to standard output and keep the original files
 unchanged.
+.Sh DEPRECATION NOTICE
+.Nm
+is deprecated and will be removed from future versions of the
+.Fx
+base system.
+Users should use
+.Xr gzip 1
+instead.
