GZNEW(1) General Commands Manual GZNEW(1) NAME gznew - recompress .Z files to .gz files SYNOPSIS gznew [ -ftv9PK] [ name.Z ... ] DESCRIPTION Gznew recompresses files from .Z (compress) format to .gz (gzip) for- mat. If you want to recompress a file already in gzip format, rename the file to force a .Z extension then apply gznew. OPTIONS -f Force recompression from .Z to .gz format even if a .gz file already exists. -t Tests the new files before deleting originals. -v Verbose. Display the name and percentage reduction for each file compressed. -9 Use the slowest compression method (optimal compression). -P Use pipes for the conversion to reduce disk space usage. -K Keep a .Z file when it is smaller than the .gz file; implies -t. SEE ALSO gzip(1), gzmore(1), gzdiff(1), gzgrep(1), gzforce(1), gzexe(1), com- press(1) BUGS If the -P option is used, gznew does not maintain the timestamp if touch(1) does not support the -r option, and does not maintain permis- sions if chmod(1) does not support the --reference option.
