 .SH DESCRIPTION
-Plzip is a massively parallel (multi\-threaded) implementation of lzip,
-compatible with lzip 1.4 or newer. Plzip uses the compression library lzlib.

 Lzip is a lossless data compressor with a user interface similar to the one
-of gzip or bzip2. Lzip uses a simplified form of the 'Lempel\-Ziv\-Markov
-chain\-Algorithm' (LZMA) stream format to maximize interoperability. The
-maximum dictionary size is 512 MiB so that any lzip file can be decompressed
-on 32\-bit machines. Lzip provides accurate and robust 3\-factor integrity
-checking. 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.

 .PP
 Plzip can compress/decompress large files on multiprocessor machines much
 faster than lzip, at the cost of a slightly reduced compression ratio (0.4
 to 2 percent larger compressed files). Note that the number of usable
 threads is limited by file size; on files larger than a few GB plzip can use
-hundreds of processors, but on files of only a few MB plzip is no faster
-than lzip.

+The number of threads defaults to the number of processors.
