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.
