...but not on output:
tcpdump -w - | gzcat
hostname$ tcpdump -w - | gzcat
tcpdump: listening on XXX
gzcat: stdin: not in gzip format
I don't know whether the person asking the question wanted to have
tcpdump capable of *reading* gzipped files (in which case gzcat piped to
tcpdump works just fine) or have it capable of *writing* gzipped files.
