lrztar

A wrapper for lrzip to simplify compression of directories. See also: tar, lrzuntar, lrunzip. More information: https://manned.org/lrztar.
  • Archive a directory with tar, then compress:
    lrztar {{path/to/directory}}
  • Same as above, with ZPAQ - extreme compression, but very slow:
    lrztar -z {{path/to/directory}}
  • Specify the output file:
    lrztar -o {{path/to/file}} {{path/to/directory}}
  • Override the number of processor threads to use:
    lrztar -p {{8}} {{path/to/directory}}
  • Force overwriting of existing files:
    lrztar -f {{path/to/directory}}
