ZFORCE(1)
ZFORCE(1)
NAME
zforce - force a '.gz' extension on all gzip files
SYNOPSIS
zforce [ name ... ]
DESCRIPTION
zforce forces a .gz extension on all gzip files so that
gzip will not compress them twice. This can be useful for
files with names truncated after a file transfer. On sys-
tems with a 14 char limitation on file names, the original
name is truncated to make room for the .gz suffix. For
example, 12345678901234 is renamed to 12345678901.gz. A
file name such as foo.tgz is left intact.
