ZTEST(1) User Commands ZTEST(1) NAME ztest - check the integrity of compressed files SYNOPSIS ztest [options] [files] 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 in- tegrity 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 diag- nostic is shown at verbosity level 1 or higher if any file fails the test when testing multiple files. If no files are specified, recursive searches examine the current work- ing directory, and nonrecursive searches read standard input. The formats supported are bzip2, gzip, lzip, xz, and zstd. 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 pro- duce garbage output without issuing any warning. Therefore, xz files can't always be checked as reliably as files in the other formats can. 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.
