okay bestie, welcome to the General Commands Manual ✨ this is lbzforce — the little glow-up artist for your compressed files 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

lbzforce — force a .bz2 extension on all lbzip2 files 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

lbzforce [ name ... ]

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so here's the tea, bestie: lbzforce forces a .bz2 extension on all lbzip2 files, so that lbzip2 will not compress them twice. no cap, that's the whole job. 👑

this is genuinely useful for files whose names got truncated after a file transfer — you know how it goes, the name arrives all chopped up and the extension is just gone, tragic. 😭

on systems with a 14 char limitation on file names, the original name is truncated to make room for the .bz2 suffix. for example, 12345678901234 is renamed to 12345678901.bz2. it's giving ✂️ but make it functional.

and a file name such as foo.tbz is left intact — she already ate, we're not touching her. 💅
