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.
