The gzip specification [1] makes clear that the mtime field is always present.
The time is in Unix format, i.e., seconds since 00:00:00 GMT, Jan. 1, 1970.
MTIME = 0 means no time stamp is available. Hence no need for a
new constant NO_TIMESTAMP.
So this is primarily a documentation problem [2]. F
If the so, then a better name than NO_TIMESTAMP should be chosen, as the gzip
specification does not allow for no timestamp.
