BZNEW(1) General Commands Manual BZNEW(1)
NAME
bznew - recompress .gz or .tgz files to .bz2 files
SYNOPSIS
bznew [ -ftv9PK] [ name.gz ... ]
DESCRIPTION
Bznew recompresses files from .gz (gzip) format to .bz2 (bzip2) format. If you want to recompress a file already in bzip2 format, rename
the file to force a .bz2 extension then apply bznew.
OPTIONS
-f Force recompression from .gz to .bz2 format even if a .bz2 file already exists.
-t Tests the new files before deleting originals.
-v Verbose. Display the name and percentage reduction for each file compressed.
-9 Use the slowest compression method (optimal compression).
-P Use pipes for the conversion to reduce disk space usage.
-K Keep a .gz file when it is smaller than the .bz2 file
SEE ALSO
bzip2(1), gzip(1)
BUGS
Bznew does not maintain the time stamp with the -P option if cpmod(1) is not available and touch(1) does not support the -r option.
