-.TH GZEXE 1
-.SH NAME
-gzexe \- compress executable files in place
-.SH SYNOPSIS
-.B gzexe
-[ name ... ]
-.SH DESCRIPTION
-The
-.I gzexe
-utility allows you to compress executables in place and have them
-automatically uncompress and execute when you run them (at a penalty
-in performance). For example if you execute ``gzexe /bin/cat'' it
-will create the following two files:
-.nf
-.br
- -r-xr-xr-x 1 root bin 9644 Feb 11 11:16 /bin/cat
- -r-xr-xr-x 1 bin bin 24576 Nov 23 13:21 /bin/cat~
-.fi
-/bin/cat~ is the original file and /bin/cat is the self-uncompressing
-executable file. You can remove /bin/cat~ once you are sure that
-/bin/cat works properly.
-.PP
-This utility is most useful on systems with very small disks.
-.SH OPTIONS
-.TP
-.B \-d
-Decompress the given executables instead of compressing them.
-.SH "SEE ALSO"
-gzip(1), znew(1), zmore(1), zcmp(1), zforce(1)
-.SH CAVEATS
-The compressed executable is a shell script. This may create some
-security holes. In particular, the compressed executable relies
-on the PATH environment variable to find
-.I gzip
-and some other utilities
-.I (tail, chmod, ln, sleep).
-.SH "BUGS"
-.I gzexe
-attempts to retain the original file attributes on the compressed executable,
-but you may have to fix them manually in some cases, using
-.I chmod
-or
-.I chown.
