As clzip is written in C, it may be easier to integrate in +applications like package managers, embedded devices, or systems lacking +a C++ compiler. + +Lzip is a lossless data compressor with a user interface similar to the +one of gzip or bzip2. Lzip can compress about as fast as gzip (lzip -0) +or compress most files more than bzip2 (lzip -9). Decompression speed is +intermediate between gzip and bzip2. Lzip is better than gzip and bzip2 +from a data recovery perspective. Lzip has been designed, written and +tested with great care to replace gzip and bzip2 as the standard +general-purpose compressed format for unix-like systems. + +Usage: clzip [options] [files] + +Options: + -h, --help display this help and exit + -V, --version output version information and exit + -a, --trailing-error exit with error status if trailing data + -b, --member-size=<bytes> set member size limit in bytes + -c, --stdout write to standard output, keep input files + -d, --decompress decompress + -f, --force overwrite existing output files + -F, --recompress force re-compression of compressed files + -k, --keep keep (don't delete) input files + -l, --list print (un)compressed file sizes + -m, --match-length=<bytes> set match length limit in bytes [36] + -o, --output=<file> if reading standard input, write to <file> + -q, --quiet suppress all messages + -s, --dictionary-size=<bytes> set dictionary size limit in bytes [8 MiB] + -S, --volume-size=<bytes> set volume size limit in bytes + -t, --test test compressed file integrity + -v, --verbose be verbose (a 2nd -v gives more) + -0 .. -9 set compression level [default 6] + --fast alias for -0 + --best alias for -9 + --loose-trailing allow trailing data seeming corrupt header +If no file names are given, or if a file is '-', clzip compresses or +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... +Dictionary sizes 12 to 29 are interpreted as powers of two, meaning 2^12 +to 2^29 bytes. + +The bidimensional parameter space of LZMA can't be mapped to a linear +scale optimal for all files. If your files are large, very repetitive, +etc, you may need to use the --dictionary-size and --match-length +options directly to achieve optimal performance. + +Exit status: 0 for a normal exit, 1 for environmental problems (file +not found, invalid flags, I/O errors, etc), 2 to indicate a corrupt or +invalid input file, 3 for an internal consistency error (eg, bug) which +caused clzip to panic. + +Report bugs to lzip-bug@nongnu.org +Clzip home page: http://www.nongnu.org/lzip/clzip.html |
