.TH ZFORCE 1 .SH NAME zforce \- force a '.gz' extension on all gzip files .SH SYNOPSIS .B zforce [ name ... ] .SH DESCRIPTION .I zforce forces a .gz extension on all .I gzip files so that .I 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. .SH "SEE ALSO" gzip(1), znew(1), zmore(1), zgrep(1), zdiff(1), gzexe(1)
