- Compress a file into a new file with the `.zst` suffix:
2018-12-18 15:43:09 +00:00
2022-12-04 09:12:49 +00:00
`zstd {{path/to/file}}`
2018-12-18 15:43:09 +00:00
- Decompress a file:
2022-12-04 09:12:49 +00:00
`zstd -d {{path/to/file}}.zst`
2018-12-18 15:43:09 +00:00
- Decompress to `stdout`:
2018-12-18 15:43:09 +00:00
2022-12-04 09:12:49 +00:00
`zstd -dc {{path/to/file}}.zst`
2018-12-18 15:43:09 +00:00
- Compress a file specifying the compression level, where 1=fastest, 19=slowest and 3=default:
2018-12-18 15:43:09 +00:00
2022-12-04 09:12:49 +00:00
`zstd -{{level}} {{path/to/file}}`
2018-12-18 15:43:09 +00:00
- Unlock higher compression levels (up to 22) using more memory (both for compression and decompression):
2018-12-18 15:43:09 +00:00
2022-12-04 09:12:49 +00:00
`zstd --ultra -{{level}} {{path/to/file}}`
