ZFORCE(1)                                                                                          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.
