NAME

       Pdlzip - reduces the size of files

SYNOPSIS

       pdlzip [options] [file]

DESCRIPTION

       Pdlzip  - A "public domain" version of the lzip data compressor also able to decompress legacy lzma-alone
       (.lzma) files.

OPTIONS

       -h, --help
              display this help and exit

       -V, --version
              output version information and exit

       -c, --stdout
              send output to standard output

       -d, --decompress
              decompress

       -m, --match-length=<bytes>
              set match length limit in bytes [36]

       -q, --quiet
              suppress all messages

       -s, --dictionary-size=<bytes>
              set dictionary size limit in bytes [8MiB]

       -t, --test
              test compressed file integrity

       -v, --verbose
              be verbose (a 2nd -v gives more)

       -1 .. -9
              set compression level [default 6]

       --fast alias for -1

       --best alias for -9

       If no file name is given, pdlzip 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...  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
       --match-length and --dictionary-size options directly to achieve optimal performance.
