ZFORCE(1) User Commands ZFORCE(1)

NAME

zforce - force a '.gz' extension on all gzip files

SYNOPSIS

zforce [ name ... ]

DESCRIPTION

The zforce command 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 systems 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.
