lrzip

A large file compression program. See also: lrunzip, lrztar, lrzuntar. More information: https://manned.org/lrzip.

• Compress a file with LZMA - slow compression, fast decompression:

lrzip {{path/to/file}}

• Compress a file with BZIP2 - good middle ground for compression/speed:

lrzip {{[-b|--bzip2]}} {{path/to/file}}

• Compress with ZPAQ - extreme compression, but very slow:

lrzip {{[-z|--zpaq]}} {{path/to/file}}

• Compress with LZO - light compression, extremely fast decompression:

lrzip {{[-l|--lzo]}} {{path/to/file}}

• Compress a file and password protect/encrypt it:

lrzip {{[-e|--encrypt]}} {{path/to/file}}

• Override the number of processor threads to use:

lrzip {{[-p|--threads]}} {{8}} {{path/to/file}}
