How to "view" time stamp of a file which is zipped?

Hi

I have a zipped file with extension .gz

It contains just one file which is zipped . What is the command to view the timestamp of that file. I Don't want to unzip the file

Try

gzip -lv file.gz

and look at the date and time column.

$ gzip -lv delete.txt.gz 
method  crc     date  time           compressed        uncompressed  ratio uncompressed_name
