ZNEW(1) FreeBSD General Commands Manual ZNEW(1)
NAME
znew - convert compressed files to gzipped files
SYNOPSIS
znew [-9fKtv] file ...
DESCRIPTION
The znew utility uncompresses files compressed by compress(1) and
recompresses them with gzip(1).
The options are as follows:
-9 Use the -9 mode of gzip(1), achieving better compression at the
cost of slower execution.
-f Overwrite existing `.gz' files. Unless this option is specified,
znew refuses to overwrite existing files.
-K Keep the original `.Z' file if it uses less disk blocks than the
gzipped one. A disk block is 1024 bytes.
-t Test integrity of the gzipped file before deleting the original
file. If the integrity check fails, the original `.Z' file is
not removed.
-v Print a report specifying the achieved compression ratios.
SEE ALSO
compress(1), gzip(1)
CAVEATS
The znew utility tries to maintain the file mode of the original file.
If the original file is not writable, it will be unable to do so and znew
will print a warning.
