2.SH NAME
3zforce \- force a '.gz' extension on all gzip files
4.SH SYNOPSIS
5.B zforce
6[ name ... ]
7.SH DESCRIPTION
8.I zforce
9forces a .gz extension on all
10.I gzip
11files so that
12.I gzip
13will not compress them twice.
14This can be useful for files with names truncated after a file transfer.
15On systems with a 14 char limitation on file names, the original name
16is truncated to make room for the .gz suffix. For example,
1712345678901234 is renamed to 12345678901.gz. A file name such as foo.tgz
18is left intact.
19.SH "SEE ALSO"
