+.TH ZTEST "1" "January 2024" "zutils 1.13" "User Commands"
+.SH NAME
+ztest \- check the integrity of compressed files
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B ztest
+[\fI\,options\/\fR] [\fI\,files\/\fR]
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+ztest checks the integrity of the compressed files specified. It
+also warns if an uncompressed file has a compressed file name extension, or
+if a compressed file has a wrong compressed extension. Uncompressed files
+are otherwise ignored. If a file is specified as '\-', the integrity of
+compressed data read from standard input is checked. 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 testing 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, xz, and zstd.
+.PP
+Note that error detection in the xz format is broken. First, some xz files
+lack integrity information. Second, not all xz decompressors can check 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 checked as
+reliably as files in the other formats can.
+.PP
+Exit status is 0 if all compressed files check OK, 1 if environmental
+problems (file not found, invalid command\-line options, I/O errors, etc),
+2 if any compressed file is corrupt or invalid, or if any file has an
+incorrect file name extension.
