zstd

Compress or decompress files with Zstandard compression. More information: https://manned.org/zstd.

• Compress a file into a new file with the .zst suffix:

zstd {{path/to/file}}

• Decompress a file:

zstd {{[-d|--decompress]}} {{path/to/file.zst}}

• Decompress to stdout:

zstd {{[-d|--decompress]}} {{[-c|--stdout]}} {{path/to/file.zst}}

• Compress a file specifying the compression level, where 1=fastest, 19=slowest, and 3=default:

zstd -{{level}} {{path/to/file}}

• Compress a file using an ultra-fast compression level, where 1=default:

zstd --fast={{level}} {{path/to/file}}

• Unlock higher compression levels (up to 22) using more memory (both for compression and decompression):

zstd --ultra -{{level}} {{path/to/file}}

• Set the number of working threads to the number of physical CPU cores:

zstd {{[-T|--threads]}} 0
