ZFORCE(1) 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 suf-
       fix. For example, 12345678901234 is renamed to
       12345678901.gz. A file name such as foo.tgz is left
       intact.
