If you want to recompress a file already in gzip format, rename the file to force a .Z extension then apply znew. OPTIONS -f Force recompression from .Z to .gz format even if a .gz file al- ready 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; implies -t.
