NAME

       compression_tool - encode/decode files using the Compression library


SYNOPSIS

       compression_tool   -encode  |  -decode  [-a algorithm]  [-i input_file]
       [-o output_file] [-v] [-h]


DESCRIPTION

       compression_tool encodes (compresses), or decodes (uncompresses)  files
       using the Compression library.


OPTIONS

       -encode
              Encode (compress) the input

       -decode
              Decode (uncompress) the input

       -a algorithm
              Set  the  compression  algorithm,  valid options are zlib, lzma,
              lzfse, lz4, lz4_raw.  Default is lzfse.
              - zlib      raw DEFLATE payload, as defined in  IETF  RFC  1951,
              encoder is zlib level 5,
              -  lzma      LZMA2  payload  inside  a  XZ container, encoder is
              LZMA2 preset 6,
              - lz4       raw LZ4 payload inside a custom container (described
              in compression.h),
              - lz4_raw   raw LZ4 payload,
              - lzfse     LZFSE payload.

       -i input_file
              Input file. If omitted, process standard input.

       -o output_file
              Output file. If omitted, write to standard output.

       -v     Increase verbosity. Default is silent operation.

       -h     Print usage and exit.
