No, it doesn’t read the file into memory. If you look at the documentation you will see that it returns a resource to the archived file. You can then use other function to read a certain amount of data (until the first line delimiter, or a fixed number of bytes, or even the whole file). If you look at the available functions you will see that they are very similar to those from the file API.
Bonus: If you want to use the standard file API you can use the
compress.zlib://wrapper to open the archive.
