Lzip - LZMA lossless data compressor. Usage: lzip.lzip [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 If no file names are given, or if a file is '-', lzip 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 lzip to panic.
