NAME
bznew - recompress .gz or .tgz files to .bz2 files
SYNOPSIS
bznew [ -ftv9PK] [ name.gz ... ]
DESCRIPTION
Bznew recompresses files from .gz (gzip) format to .bz2 (bzip2) format. If you want to recompress a file already in bzip2 format, rename the file to force a .bz2 extension then apply bznew.
OPTIONS
| -f | Force recompression from .gz to .bz2 format even if a .bz2 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 .gz file when it is smaller than the .bz2 file |
SEE ALSO
BUGS
Bznew 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.
