lzip

Lzip is a lossless data compressor with a user interface similar to gzip or bzip2. Lzip uses a simplified form of the "Lempel-Ziv-Markovchain-Algorithm"z (LZMA) stream format and provides a 3 factor integrity checking to maximize interoperability and optimize safety.

  • Archive a file, replacing it with with a compressed version:
    lzip {{path/to/file}}
  • Archive a file, keeping the input file:
    lzip -k {{path/to/file}}
  • Archive a file with the best compression (level=9):
    lzip -k {{path/to/file}} --best
  • Archive a file at the fastest speed (level=0):
    lzip -k {{path/to/file}} --fast
  • Test the integrity of compressed file:
    lzip --test {{path/to/archive.lz}}
  • Decompress a file, replacing it with the original uncompressed version:
    lzip -d {{path/to/archive.lz}}
  • Decompress a file, keeping the archive:
    lzip -d -k {{path/to/archive.lz}}
