A large file compression program. See also: lrunzip, lrztar, lrzuntar. More information: https://manned.org/lrzip.

  • Compress a file with LZMA - slow compression, fast decompression:

lrzip {{path/to/file}}

  • Compress a file with BZIP2 - good middle ground for compression/speed:

lrzip -b {{path/to/file}}

  • Compress with ZPAQ - extreme compression, but very slow:

lrzip -z {{path/to/file}}

  • Compress with LZO - light compression, extremely fast decompression:

lrzip -l {{path/to/file}}

  • Compress a file and password protect/encrypt it:

lrzip -e {{path/to/file}}

  • Override the number of processor threads to use:

lrzip -p {{8}} {{path/to/file}}
