ZFORCE(1)                              General Commands Manual                             ZFORCE(1)



NAME
       zforce - force a '.gz' extension on all gzip files

SYNOPSIS
       zforce [ name ...  ]

DESCRIPTION
       zforce  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.
