.SH SYNOPSIS
@@ -9,10 +9,16 @@ Ztest \- verify integrity of compressed files
Ztest verifies the integrity of the specified compressed files.
Non\-compressed files are ignored. If no files are specified, the
integrity of compressed data read from standard input is verified. Data
-read from standard input must be all compressed with the same compressor.
-The supported compressors are bzip2, gzip, lzip and xz.
+read from standard input must be all in the same compression format.
.PP
-Exit status is 2 if any compressed file is corrupt, 0 otherwise.
+The supported formats are bzip2, gzip, lzip and xz.
+.PP
+Note that some xz files lack integrity information, and therefore can't
+be verified as reliably as 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.
