+.TH ZTEST "1" "January 2021" "zutils 1.10" "User Commands"
+.SH NAME
+ztest \- verify the integrity of compressed files
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B ztest
+[\fI\,options\/\fR] [\fI\,files\/\fR]
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+ztest verifies the integrity of the compressed files specified.
+Uncompressed files are ignored. If a file is specified as '\-', the
+integrity of compressed data read from standard input is verified. Data
+read from standard input must be all in the same compressed format. If
+a file fails to decompress, does not exist, can't be opened, or is a
+terminal, ztest continues verifying the rest of the files. A final
+diagnostic is shown at verbosity level 1 or higher if any file fails the
+test when testing multiple files.
+.PP
+If no files are specified, recursive searches examine the current
+working directory, and nonrecursive searches read standard input.
+.PP
+The formats supported are bzip2, gzip, lzip, and xz.
+.PP
+Note that error detection in the xz format is broken. First, some xz
+files lack integrity information. Second, not all xz decompressors can
+verify the integrity of all xz files. Third, section 2.1.1.2 'Stream
+Flags' of the xz format specification allows xz decompressors to produce
+garbage output without issuing any warning. Therefore, xz files can't
+always be verified as reliably as files in the other formats can.
+.PP
+Exit status is 0 if all compressed files verify OK, 1 if environmental
+problems (file not found, invalid flags, I/O errors, etc), 2 if any
+compressed file is corrupt or invalid.
