It was generated by help2man 1.49.2. +.TH XLUNZIP "1" "January 2024" "xlunzip 0.8" "User Commands" +.SH NAME +xlunzip \- test tool for the lzip_decompress linux module +.SH SYNOPSIS +.B xlunzip +[\fI\,options\/\fR] [\fI\,files\/\fR] +.SH DESCRIPTION +Xlunzip is a test tool for the lzip decompression code of my lzip patch for +linux. Xlunzip is similar to lunzip, but it uses the lzip_decompress linux +module as a backend. Xlunzip tests the module for stream, buffer\-to\-buffer, +and mixed decompression modes, including in\-place decompression (using the +same buffer for input and output). You can use xlunzip to check that the +module produces correct results when decompressing single member files, +multimember files, or the concatenation of two or more compressed files. +Xlunzip can be used with unzcrash to test the robustness of the module to +the decompression of corrupted data. +.PP +The distributed index feature of the lzip format allows xlunzip to +decompress concatenated files in place. This can't be guaranteed to work +with formats like gzip or bzip2 because they can't detect whether a high +compression ratio in the first members of the multimember data is being +masked by a low compression ratio in the last members. +.SH OPTIONS +.TP +\fB\-h\fR, \fB\-\-help\fR +display this help and exit +.TP +\fB\-V\fR, \fB\-\-version\fR +output version information and exit +.TP +\fB\-c\fR, \fB\-\-stdout\fR +write to standard output, keep input files +.TP +\fB\-d\fR, \fB\-\-decompress\fR +decompress (this is the default) +.TP +\fB\-f\fR, \fB\-\-force\fR +overwrite existing output files +.TP +\fB\-I\fR, \fB\-\-in\-place\fR +decompress or test using only one buffer +.TP +\fB\-k\fR, \fB\-\-keep\fR +keep (don't delete) input files +.TP +\fB\-o\fR, \fB\-\-output=\fR<file> +write to <file>, keep input files +.TP +\fB\-q\fR, \fB\-\-quiet\fR +suppress all messages +.TP +\fB\-t\fR, \fB\-\-test\fR +test compressed file integrity +.TP +\fB\-v\fR, \fB\-\-verbose\fR +be verbose (a 2nd \fB\-v\fR gives more) +.SS "These options are ignored when --in-place is in effect:" +.TP +\fB\-\-insize[=\fR<size>] +pre\-allocate and fill inbuf [default 16 KiB] +.TP +\fB\-\-outsize[=\fR<size>] +pre\-allocate outbuf [default 512 MiB] +.TP +\fB\-\-nofill\fR +do not pass a fill function; requires \fB\-\-insize\fR +.TP +\fB\-\-noflush\fR +do not pass a flush function; requires \fB\-\-outsize\fR +.PP +If no file names are given, or if a file is '\-', xlunzip decompresses +from standard input to standard output. +Numbers may be followed by a multiplier: k = kB = 10^3 = 1000, +Ki = KiB = 2^10 = 1024, M = 10^6, Mi = 2^20, G = 10^9, Gi = 2^30, etc... +.PP +To extract all the files from archive 'foo.tar.lz', use the commands +\&'tar \fB\-xf\fR foo.tar.lz' or 'xlunzip \fB\-cd\fR foo.tar.lz | tar \fB\-xf\fR \-'. +.PP +Exit status: 0 for a normal exit, 1 for environmental problems +(file not found, invalid command\-line options, I/O errors, etc), 2 to +indicate a corrupt or invalid input file, 3 for an internal consistency +error (e.g., bug) which caused xlunzip to panic. +.SH "REPORTING BUGS" +Report bugs to lzip\-bug@nongnu.org +.br +Xlunzip home page: http://www.nongnu.org/lzip/xlunzip.html +.SH COPYRIGHT +Copyright \(co 2024 Antonio Diaz Diaz. +License GPLv2+: GNU GPL version 2 or later <http://gnu.org/licenses/gpl.html> +.br +This is free software: you are free to change and redistribute it. +There is NO WARRANTY, to the extent permitted by law. |
