    lrzip {{filename}}
  • Compress a file with BZIP2 - good middle ground for compression/speed:
    lrzip -b {{filename}}
  • Compress with ZPAQ - extreme compression, but very slow:
    lrzip -z {{filename}}
  • Compress with LZO - light compression, extremely fast decompression:
    lrzip -l {{filename}}
  • Compress a file and password protect/encrypt it:
    lrzip -e {{filename}}
