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.
