It was generated by help2man 1.49.2. +.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. +.SH OPTIONS +.TP +\fB\-h\fR, \fB\-\-help\fR +display this help and exit +.TP +\fB\-V\fR, \fB\-\-version\fR +output version information and exit +.TP +\fB\-M\fR, \fB\-\-format=\fR<list> +process only the formats in <list> +.TP +\fB\-N\fR, \fB\-\-no\-rcfile\fR +don't read runtime configuration file +.TP +\fB\-O\fR, \fB\-\-force\-format=\fR<fmt> +force the input format +.TP +\fB\-q\fR, \fB\-\-quiet\fR +suppress all messages +.TP +\fB\-r\fR, \fB\-\-recursive\fR +operate recursively on directories +.TP +\fB\-R\fR, \fB\-\-dereference\-recursive\fR +recursively follow symbolic links +.TP +\fB\-v\fR, \fB\-\-verbose\fR +be verbose (a 2nd \fB\-v\fR gives more) +.TP +\fB\-\-bz2=\fR<command> +set compressor and options for bzip2 format +.TP +\fB\-\-gz=\fR<command> +set compressor and options for gzip format +.TP +\fB\-\-lz=\fR<command> +set compressor and options for lzip format +.TP +\fB\-\-xz=\fR<command> +set compressor and options for xz format +.TP +\fB\-\-zst=\fR<command> +set compressor and options for zstd format +.PP +Valid formats for options '\-M' and '\-O' are 'bz2', 'gz', 'lz', 'xz', and 'zst'. +.SH "REPORTING BUGS" +Report bugs to zutils\-bug@nongnu.org +.br +Zutils home page: http://www.nongnu.org/zutils/zutils.html +.SH COPYRIGHT +Copyright \(co 2024 Antonio Diaz Diaz. +License GPLv2+: GNU GPL version 2 or later <http://gnu.org/licenses/gpl.html> +.br +This is free software: you are free to change and redistribute it. +There is NO WARRANTY, to the extent permitted by law. +.SH "SEE ALSO" +The full documentation for +.B ztest +is maintained as a Texinfo manual.
