lzip

A lossless data compressor with a user interface similar to gzip or bzip2. Lzip uses a simplified form of the "Lempel-Ziv-Markovchain-Algorithm" (LZMA) stream format and provides 3-factor integrity checking to maximize interoperability and optimize safety. More information: <https://www.nongnu.org/lzip>.

  • Archive a file, replacing it with with a compressed version:
    lzip path/to/file
  • Archive a file, keeping the input file:
    lzip -k path/to/file
  • Archive a file with the best compression (level=9):
    lzip -k path/to/file --best
  • Archive a file at the fastest speed (level=0):
    lzip -k path/to/file --fast
  • Test the integrity of compressed file:
    lzip --test path/to/archive.lz
  • Decompress a file, replacing it with the original uncompressed version:
    lzip -d path/to/archive.lz
  • Decompress a file, keeping the archive:
    lzip -d -k path/to/archive.lz
  • List files which are in an archive and show compression stats:
    lzip --list path/to/archive.lz
