znew ? recompress .Z files to .gz files |
|
znew [ -ftv9PK] [ name.Z ... ] |
|
Znew recompresses files from .Z (compress) format to .gz (gzip) format. If you want to recompress a file already in gzip format, rename the file to force a .Z extension then apply znew. |
|
?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 |
|
gzip(1), zmore(1), zdiff(1), zgrep(1), zforce(1), gzexe(1), compress(1) |
|
Znew does not maintain the time stamp with the -P option if cpmod(1) is not available and touch(1) does not support the -r option. |
