ZFORCE(1)                    BSD Reference 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', '.cgz', '.ngz', '.tgz' or '.taz' suffix, or that have not
     been compressed by gzip(1), are ignored.

SEE ALSO

     compress(1), gzip(1)

CAVEATS

     zforce overwrites existing files without warning.
