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.
