to be safe and not produce any data loss. Therefore, existing lzip
compressed files are never overwritten nor deleted.
Combining the '--force' and '--keep' options, as in
'zupdate -f -k *.gz', verifies that there are no differences between
each pair of files in a multiformat set of files.
The names of the original files must have one of the following
extensions: '.bz2', '.tbz', '.tbz2', '.gz', '.tgz', '.xz', '.txz'. The
files produced have the extensions '.lz' or '.tar.lz'.
Recompressing a file is much like copying or moving it; therefore
zupdate preserves the access and modification dates, permissions, and,
when possible, ownership of the file just as "cp -p" does. (If the user
ID or the group ID can't be duplicated, the file permission bits S_ISUID
and S_ISGID are cleared).

Combining the @samp{--force} and @samp{--keep} options, as in
@w{@code{zupdate -f -k *.gz}}, verifies that there are no differences
between each pair of files in a multiformat set of files.
The names of the original files must have one of the following
extensions: @samp{.bz2}, @samp{.tbz}, @samp{.tbz2}, @samp{.gz},
@samp{.tgz}, @samp{.xz}, @samp{.txz}. The files produced have the
extensions @samp{.lz} or @samp{.tar.lz}.
Recompressing a file is much like copying or moving it; therefore
zupdate preserves the access and modification dates, permissions, and,
when possible, ownership of the file just as "cp -p" does. (If the user
ID or the group ID can't be duplicated, the file permission bits S_ISUID
and S_ISGID are cleared).
