ZFORCE(1) General Commands Manual 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.
