NAME

       lunzip - decompressor for lzip files

SYNOPSIS

       lunzip [options] [files]

DESCRIPTION

       Lunzip  is  a  decompressor for lzip files. It is written in C and its small size makes it
       well suited for embedded devices or software installers that need to decompress files  but
       do not need compression capabilities. Lunzip is fully compatible with lzip-1.4 or newer.

       Lunzip  provides a 'low memory' mode able to decompress any file using as little memory as
       50 kB, irrespective of the dictionary size used to compress  the  file.  To  activate  it,
       specify  the size of the output buffer with the '--buffer-size' option and lunzip will use
       the decompressed file as dictionary for distances beyond the buffer size. Of  course,  the
       smaller  the output buffer size used in relation to the dictionary size, the more accesses
       to disk are needed and the slower the decompression is.  This 'low memory' mode only works
       when decompressing to a regular file.

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 (this is the default)

       -f, --force
              overwrite existing output files

       -k, --keep
              keep (don't delete) input files

       -o, --output=<file>
              if reading stdin, place the output into <file>

       -q, --quiet
              suppress all messages

       -t, --test
              test compressed file integrity

       -u, --buffer-size=<bytes>
              set output buffer size in bytes

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

       If  no  file  names are given, lunzip 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...

       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 lunzip to panic.
