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
