PLZIP(1) Plzip 0.9 PLZIP(1) User Commands User Commands March 2012 NAME Plzip - reduces the size of files SYNOPSIS plzip [options] [files] DESCRIPTION Plzip - A parallel compressor compatible with lzip. OPTIONS -h, --help display this help and exit -V, --version output version information and exit -B, --data-size=<bytes> set input data block size in bytes -c, --stdout send output to standard output -d, --decompress decompress -f, --force overwrite existing output files -F, --recompress force recompression of compressed files -k, --keep keep (don't delete) input files -m, --match-length=<bytes> set match length limit in bytes [36] -n, --threads=<n> set the number of (de)compression threads -o, --output=<file> if reading stdin, place the output into <file> -q, --quiet suppress all messages -s, --dictionary-size=<bytes> set dictionary size limit in bytes [8MiB] - 1 - Formatted: October 15, 2024 PLZIP(1) Plzip 0.9 PLZIP(1) User Commands User Commands March 2012 -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 names are given, plzip 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.
