ZFORCE(1)                USER COMMANDS                  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.
