*** lz4 v1.10.0 64-bit multithread, by Yann Collet *** Usage : lz4 [arg] [input] [output]
input : a filename with no FILE, or when FILE is - or stdin, read standard input Arguments : -1 : fast compression (default) -12 : slowest compression level -T# : use # threads for compression (default:0==auto) -d : decompression (default for .lz4 extension) -f : overwrite output without prompting -k : preserve source files(s) (default) --rm : remove source file(s) after successful de/compression -h/-H : display help/long help and exit Advanced arguments : -V : display Version number and exit -v : verbose mode -q : suppress warnings; specify twice to suppress errors too -c : force write to standard output, even if it is the console -t : test compressed file integrity -m : multiple input files (implies automatic output filenames) -r : operate recursively on directories (sets also -m) -l : compress using Legacy format (Linux kernel compression) -z : force compression -D FILE: use FILE as dictionary (compression & decompression) -B# : cut file into blocks of size # bytes [32+] or predefined block size [4-7] (default: 7) -BI : Block Independence (default) -BD : Block dependency (improves compression ratio) -BX : enable block checksum (default:disabled) --no-frame-crc : disable stream checksum (default:enabled) --content-size : compressed frame includes original size (default:not present) --list FILE : lists information about .lz4 files (useful for files compressed with --content-size flag) --[no-]sparse : sparse mode (default:enabled on file, disabled on stdout) --favor-decSpeed: compressed files decompress faster, but are less compressed --fast[=#]: switch to ultra fast compression level (default: 1) --best : same as -12 Benchmark arguments : -b# : benchmark file(s), using # compression level (default : 1) -e# : test all compression levels from -bX to # (default : 1) -i# : minimum evaluation time in seconds (default : 3s) [I] user@Gatos-MacBook-Pro ~> lz4 --help | pbcopy *** lz4 v1.10.0 64-bit multithread, by Yann Collet *** Usage : lz4 [arg] [input] [output] input : a filename with no FILE, or when FILE is - or stdin, read standard input Arguments : -1 : fast compression (default) -12 : slowest compression level -T# : use # threads for compression (default:0==auto) -d : decompression (default for .lz4 extension) -f : overwrite output without prompting -k : preserve source files(s) (default) --rm : remove source file(s) after successful de/compression -h/-H : display help/long help and exit Advanced arguments : -V : display Version number and exit -v : verbose mode -q : suppress warnings; specify twice to suppress errors too -c : force write to standard output, even if it is the console -t : test compressed file integrity -m : multiple input files (implies automatic output filenames) -r : operate recursively on directories (sets also -m) -l : compress using Legacy format (Linux kernel compression) -z : force compression -D FILE: use FILE as dictionary (compression & decompression) -B# : cut file into blocks of size # bytes [32+] or predefined block size [4-7] (default: 7) -BI : Block Independence (default) -BD : Block dependency (improves compression ratio) -BX : enable block checksum (default:disabled) --no-frame-crc : disable stream checksum (default:enabled) --content-size : compressed frame includes original size (default:not present) --list FILE : lists information about .lz4 files (useful for files compressed with --content-size flag) --[no-]sparse : sparse mode (default:enabled on file, disabled on stdout) --favor-decSpeed: compressed files decompress faster, but are less compressed --fast[=#]: switch to ultra fast compression level (default: 1) --best : same as -12 Benchmark arguments : -b# : benchmark file(s), using # compression level (default : 1) -e# : test all compression levels from -bX to # (default : 1) -i# : minimum evaluation time in seconds (default : 3s)
