.TH ZFORCE 1
|
|
.SH NAME
|
|
zforce \- force a 'z' extension on all gzip files
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
.B zforce
|
|
[ name ... ]
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.I zforce
|
|
forces a z extension on all
|
|
.I gzip
|
|
files so that
|
|
.I gzip
|
|
will not compress them twice.
|
|
This can be useful for files with names truncated after a file transfer.
|
|
On systems with a 14 char limitation on file names, the original name
|
|
is truncated to make room for the .z suffix. For example,
|
|
12345678901234 is renamed to 123456789012.z. A file name such as foo.tgz
|
|
is left intact.
|
|
.SH "SEE ALSO"
|
|
gzip(1), znew(1), zmore(1), zcmp(1), gzexe(1)
|
|
.SH BUGS
|
|
File names of exactly 13 characters are first truncated to 12 characters
|
|
even on file systems not limited to 14 characters.
