.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
|
Zupdate recompresses files from bzip2, gzip, and xz formats to lzip format.
|
|
|
|
|
The originals are compared with the new files and then deleted.
|
|
|
|
|
Only regular files with standard file name extensions are recompressed,
|
|
|
|
|
other files are ignored.
|
|
|
|
|
Compressed files are decompressed and then recompressed on the fly; no
|
|
|
|
|
temporary files are created.
|
|
|
|
|
The lzip format is chosen as destination because it is by far the most
|
|
|
|
|
appropriate for long\-term data archiving.
|
|
|
|
|
.PP
|
|
|
|
|
If the lzip compressed version of a file already exists, the file is
|
|
|
|
|
skipped unless the '\-\-force' option is given. In this case, if the
|
2025-02-24 05:47:25 +01:00
|
|
|
comparison with the existing lzip version fails, an error is returned
|
|
|
|
|
and the original file is not deleted. The operation of zupdate is meant
|
|
|
|
|
to be safe and not produce any data loss. Therefore, existing lzip
|
|
|
|
|
compressed files are never overwritten nor deleted.

Exit status is 0 if all the compressed files were successfully

2025-02-24 05:48:02 +01:00
|
|
|
recompressed (if needed), compared and deleted (if requested). Non\-zero
|
|

|
|
otherwise.
