zstd

Compress or decompress files with Zstandard compression. More information: https://github.com/facebook/zstd.
  • Compress a file into a new file with the .zst suffix:
    zstd {{path/to/file}}
  • Decompress a file:
    zstd --decompress {{path/to/file.zst}}
  • Decompress to stdout:
    zstd --decompress --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}}
  • Unlock higher compression levels (up to 22) using more memory (both for compression and decompression):
    zstd --ultra -{{level}} {{path/to/file}}
