ZFORCE(1) FreeBSD General Commands Manual ZFORCE(1)
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.
