NAME
zforce —
force gzip files to have a .gz
suffix
SYNOPSIS
DESCRIPTION
The
zforce utility renames
gzip(1) files to have a
‘.gz’ suffix, so that
gzip(1) will not compress them
twice. This can be useful if file names were truncated during a file transfer.
Files that have an existing ‘.gz’, ‘-gz’,
‘_gz’, ‘.tgz’ or ‘.taz’ suffix, or that
have not been compressed by
gzip(1), are ignored.

CAVEATS
zforce overwrites existing files without warning.
