ZFORCE(1) BSD General Commands Manual ZFORCE(1)NAMEzforce — force gzip files to have a .gz suffix
SYNOPSISzforce 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’, ‘.tgz’ or ‘.taz’ suffix, or that have not been com‐
pressed by gzip(1), are ignored.
