+The @option{--vcdgz} option is the same as the @option{--vcd} option,
+but the output is compressed using the @code{zlib} (@code{gzip}
+compression). However, you can't use the @samp{-} filename.
+Furthermore, only one VCD file can be written.
@dfn{VCD} (value change dump) is a file format defined
by the @code{verilog} standard and used by virtually any wave viewer.
