NAME
gznew − recompress .Z files to .gz files
SYNOPSIS
gznew [ -ftv9PK] [ name.Z ... ]
DESCRIPTION
gznew 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 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 |

BUGS
gznew 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.
