zforce
— force
gzip files to have a .gz suffix
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.
zforce
overwrites existing files without
warning.
