to-7zip(1) General Commands Manual to-7zip(1)
NAME
to-7zip - converts .Z, .lzo, .zip, .rar, .gz, .bz2, .bz3, and .zst
files to 7zip format
SYNOPSIS
to-7zip [-(IPv)4] [-(IPv)6] [-d(elete_original)] [-h(elp)]
[-k(eep_smallest)] [-m(ax_compress)] [-n(o_overwrite)]
[-t(imestamp_retain)] file...
DESCRIPTION
to-7zip recompresses files compressed with the compress, lzop, zip,
gzip, bzip2, bzip3, and/or zstd utilities into 7zip format. The newly
compressed files will usually have a .7z or a .t7z extension.
OPTIONS
-4 Prefer IPv4 when downloading a URL.
-6 Prefer IPv6 when downloading a URL.
-d After each file is compressed, delete the original.
-h Print help and quit.
-k Once a file is successfully recompressed, delete the larger of
the original file or the new one. This option maximizes disk
space savings and is incompatible with the -d option.
-m Compress more, but at the expense of increased CPU time and
memory usage.
-n Do not overwrite the target .7z or .t7z file if it already
exists.
-t Make the timestamp of new files match those of the old files.
