.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm

|
utility uncompresses files compressed by
|
|
.Xr compress 1
|
|
and recompresses them with
|
|
.Xr gzip 1 .
|

The options are as follows:

|
|
Overwrite existing
|
|
.Sq .gz
|
|
files.
|
|
Unless this option is specified,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
refuses to overwrite existing files.
|
|
.It Fl t
|
|
Test integrity of the gzipped file before deleting the original file.
|
|
If the integrity check fails, the original
|
|
.Sq .Z
|
|
file is not removed.
|
|
.It Fl v
|
|
Print a report specifying the achieved compression ratios.
|
|
.It Fl 9
|
|
Use the -9 mode of
|
|
.Xr gzip 1 ,
|
|
achieving better compression at the cost of slower execution.
|
|
.It Fl K
|
|
Keep the original
|
|
.Sq .Z
|
|
file if it uses less disk blocks than the gzipped one.
|
|
A disk block is 1024 bytes.

.Sh CAVEATS
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
utility tries to maintain the file mode of the original file.
|
|
If the original file is not writable, it is not able to do that and
|
|
.Nm
|
|
will print a warning.
