.TH ZTEST "1" "April 2022" "zutils 1.12-pre2" "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, 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
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.
