NAME

       aec - compress or expand files

SYNOPSIS

       aec  [-3]  [-b  BYTES]  [-d]  [-j  SAMPLES] [-m] [-n BITS] [-N] [-p] [-r BLOCKS] [-s] [-t]
       infile outfile

DESCRIPTION

       Aec performs lossless compression and decompression with Golomb-Rice coding as defined  in
       the Space Data System recommended standard 121.0-B-3.

OPTIONS

        -3    24 bit samples are stored in 3 bytes

        -b BYTES
              internal buffer size in bytes

        -d    decompress infile; if option -d is not used then compress infile

        -j SAMPLES
              block size in samples

        -m    samples are MSB first; default is LSB first

        -n BITS
              bits per sample

        -N    disable pre/post processing

        -p    pad RSI to byte boundary

        -r BLOCKS
              reference sample interval in blocks

        -s    samples are signed; default is unsigned

        -t    use restricted set of code options

                                                                                           AEC(1)
