Lzip can compress about as fast as gzip (lzip \fB\-0\fR) +or compress most files more than bzip2 (lzip \fB\-9\fR). 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. .SH OPTIONS .TP \fB\-h\fR, \fB\-\-help\fR @@ -52,7 +58,7 @@ suppress all messages set dictionary size limit in bytes [8 MiB] .TP \fB\-S\fR, \fB\-\-volume\-size=\fR<bytes> -set volume size limit in bytes, implies \fB\-k\fR +set volume size limit in bytes .TP \fB\-t\fR, \fB\-\-test\fR test compressed file integrity @@ -93,7 +99,7 @@ Report bugs to lzip\-bug@nongnu.org .br Lzip home page: http://www.nongnu.org/lzip/lzip.html .SH COPYRIGHT -Copyright \(co 2018 Antonio Diaz Diaz. +Copyright \(co 2019 Antonio Diaz Diaz.
