NAME

     zforce -- force gzip files to have a .gz suffix

SYNOPSIS

     zforce file ...

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.

SEE ALSO

     gzip(1)

CAVEATS

     zforce overwrites existing files without warning.

NAME

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

SYNOPSIS

       gzforce [ name ...  ]

DESCRIPTION

       gzforce  forces a .gz extension on all gzip files so that gzip will not compress them twice.  This can be useful for files with names trun-
       cated 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.
