29 | .Sh DESCRIPTION | |
30 | The | |
31 | .Nm | |
32 | utility uncompresses files compressed by | |
33 | .Xr compress 1 | |
34 | and recompresses them with | |
35 | .Xr gzip 1 . | |
36 | .Pp | |
37 | The options are as follows: | |
38 | .Bl -tag -width Ds | |
39 | .It Fl f | |
40 | Overwrite existing | |
41 | .Sq .gz | |
42 | files. | |
43 | Unless this option is specified, | |
44 | .Nm | |
45 | refuses to overwrite existing files. | |
46 | .It Fl t | |
47 | Test integrity of the gzipped file before deleting the original file. | |
48 | If the integrity check fails, the original | |
49 | .Sq .Z | |
50 | file is not removed. | |
51 | .It Fl v | |
52 | Print a report specifying the achieved compression ratios. | |
53 | .It Fl 9 | |
54 | Use the -9 mode of | |
55 | .Xr gzip 1 , | |
56 | achieving better compression at the cost of slower execution. | |
57 | .It Fl K | |
58 | Keep the original | |
59 | .Sq .Z | |
60 | file if it uses less disk blocks than the gzipped one. | |
61 | A disk block is 1024 bytes. | |

64 | .Xr gzip 1 | |
65 | .Sh CAVEATS | |
66 | The | |
67 | .Nm | |
68 | utility tries to maintain the file mode of the original file. | |
69 | If the original file is not writable, it is not able to do that and | |
70 | .Nm | |
71 | will print a warning. |
