- 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}}`
