NAME

       LZMA - a compression algorithm, based on Lempel Ziv's compression method.

SYNOPSIS

       lzma <e|d> inputFile outputFile [switches...]

DESCRIPTION

       LZMA  provides  high compression ratio and very fast decompression, so it is very suitable
       for embedded applications. For example, it can be used for ROM (firmware) compression.

       lzma is the default and general compression method of 7z format in 7-Zip program.
