NAME

       lrz - gzip compatible command line variant of lrzip


SYNOPSIS

       lrz [options] file


DESCRIPTION

       lrz is identical to the lrzip application, however, its command line
       options and behaviour are made to be as compatible with gzip as
       possible.

   Low level options
       -1 .. -9
       --level level

       --best   Alias for -9.

       --nice-level value
       -N value Set nice value to value (default 0).

       -T       Disable LZO compressibility testing.

       --unlimited
       -U       Use unlimited window size beyond ramsize (potentially much
                slower).

       --window size
       -w size  Set maximum compression window as size * 100 MB.  Default
                chosen by heuristic dependent on ram and chosen compression.
