If your want to create an application that mimics gzip probably the best library to use is zlib

although this is a purely c implementation. Also see here: objective-c file compression

You could reference the accepted answer to "How can I create a zip file by using Objective-C?", or
Objective-C is a superset of C, so you can freely link to whatever C zip library is convenient for you (such as zlib), or
You can call out to the zip and unzip shell utilities available on your Linux system and interact with them using pipes or temporary locations for the files.
