import compressed files using pipe

I am trying to import compressed files using a pipe on a server, IBM AIX UNIX 3.4, with very little disk space

The command is:
nohup cat xaa xab xac xad xae xaf xag | uncompress - > imp_pip &

Then the imp_pip file is used in the import statement, files=imp_pip

Does this statement uncompress the files into the file imp_pip so that there needs to be disk space available to handle it?

GEOM_UNCOMPRESS(4)					   BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual 					GEOM_UNCOMPRESS(4)

NAME
geom_uncompress -- GEOM based compressed disk images SYNOPSIS
To compile this driver into the kernel, place the following line in your kernel configuration file: options GEOM_UNCOMPRESS Alternatively, to load the driver as a module at boot time, place the following line in loader.conf(5): geom_uncompress_load="YES" DESCRIPTION
The geom_uncompress framework provides support for compressed read only disk images. This allows significant storage savings at the expense of a little CPU time on each read. Data written in the GEOM label area allows geom_uncompress to detect compressed images which have been created with mkulzma(8) or mkuzip(8) and presented to the kernel as a logical disk device via md(4). geom_uncompress creates a unique md#.uncompress device for each image. The geom_uncompress device is subsequently used by the FreeBSD kernel to access the disk images. The geom_uncompress driver does not allow write operations to the underlying disk image. To check which md(4) devices match a given geom_uncompress device: # geom uncompress list Geom name: md0.uncompress Providers: 1. Name: md0.uncompress Mediasize: 52428800 (50M) Sectorsize: 512 Mode: r1w0e0 Consumers: 1. Name: md0 Mediasize: 20864000 (20M) Sectorsize: 512 Mode: r1w0e0 SEE ALSO
GEOM(4), md(4), geom(8), mkulzma(8), mkuzip(8) AUTHORS
