GZFORCE(1)                                                          GZFORCE(1)



NAME
     gzforce - force a '.gz' extension on all gzip files

SYNOPSIS
     gzforce [ name ...  ]

DESCRIPTION
     gzforce 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.
