It reads + the first 13 bytes from the specified file, decodes the header, and + prints it to standard output in human readable format. If no files are + given or file is -, standard input is read. + + Usually the most interesting information is the uncompressed size and + the dictionary size. Uncompressed size can be shown only if the file + is in the non-streamed .lzma format variant. The amount of memory re- + quired to decompress the file is a few dozen kilobytes plus the dictio- + nary size. + + lzmainfo is included in XZ Utils primarily for backward compatibility + with LZMA Utils. + +EXIT STATUS + 0 All is good. + + 1 An error occurred. + +BUGS + lzmainfo uses MB while the correct suffix would be MiB (2^20 bytes). + This is to keep the output compatible with LZMA Utils. + +SEE ALSO + xz(1) + + + +Tukaani 2013-06-30 LZMAINFO(1) |
