NAME

       minilzip - reduces the size of files

SYNOPSIS

       minilzip [options] [files]

DESCRIPTION

       Minilzip - Test program for the lzlib library.

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

       -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, implies -k

       -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 '-', minilzip 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 minilzip to panic.
