.SH DESCRIPTION
|
||||
.B xzdec
|
||||
is a liblzma-based decompression-only tool for
|
||||
.B .xz
|
||||
(and only
|
||||
.BR .xz )
|
||||
files.
|
||||
.B xzdec
|
||||
is intended to work as a drop-in replacement for
|
||||
.BR xz (1)
|
||||
in the most common situations where a script has been written to use
|
||||
.B "xz \-\-decompress \-\-stdout"
|
||||
(and possibly a few other commonly used options) to decompress
|
||||
.B .xz
|
||||
files.
|
||||
.B lzmadec
|
||||
is identical to
|
||||
.B xzdec
|
||||
except that
|
||||
.B lzmadec
|
||||
supports
|
||||
.B .lzma
|
||||
files instead of
|
||||
.B .xz
|
||||
files.
|
||||
.PP
|
||||
To reduce the size of the executable,
|
||||
.B xzdec
|
||||
doesn't support multithreading or localization, and doesn't read options from
|
||||
.B XZ_OPT
|
||||
environment variable.
|
||||
.B xzdec
|
||||
doesn't support displaying intermediate progress information: sending
|
||||
.B SIGINFO
|
||||
to
|
||||
.B xzdec
|
||||
does nothing, but sending
|
||||
.B SIGUSR1
|
||||
terminates the process instead of displaying progress information.

.B xzdec
|

always writes the decompressed data to standard output.
|
||||
.TP
|
||||
\fB\-M\fR \fIlimit\fR, \fB\-\-memory=\fIlimit
|
||||
Set the memory usage
|
||||
.IR limit .
|
||||
If this option is specified multiple times, the last one takes effect. The
|
||||
.I limit
|
||||
can be specified in multiple ways:
|
||||
.RS
|
||||
.IP \(bu 3
|
||||
The
|
||||
.I limit
|
||||
can be an absolute value in bytes. Using an integer suffix like
|
||||
.B MiB
|
||||
can be useful. Example:
|
||||
.B "\-\-memory=80MiB"
|
||||
.IP \(bu 3
|
||||
The
|
||||
.I limit
|
||||
can be specified as a percentage of physical RAM. Example:
|
||||
.B "\-\-memory=70%"
|
||||
.IP \(bu 3
|
||||
The
|
||||
.I limit
|
||||
can be reset back to its default value (currently 40 % of physical RAM)
|
||||
by setting it to
|
||||
.BR 0 .
|
||||
.IP \(bu 3
|
||||
The memory usage limiting can be effectively disabled by setting
|
||||
.I limit
|
||||
to
|
||||
.BR max .
|
||||
This isn't recommended. It's usually better to use, for example,
|
||||
.BR \-\-memory=90% .
|
||||
.RE
|
||||
.IP
|
||||
The current
|
||||
.I limit
|
||||
can be seen near the bottom of the output of the
|
||||
.B \-\-help
|
||||
option.
|
||||
.TP
|
||||
.BR \-q ", " \-\-quiet
|
||||
Specifying this once does nothing since
|
||||
.B xzdec
|
||||
never displays any warnings or notices.
|
||||
Specify this twice to suppress errors.
|
||||
.TP
|
||||
.BR \-Q ", " \-\-no-warn
|
||||
Ignored for
|
||||

|

|
||||
.B xzdec

never uses the exit status
|
||||
.BR "2" .
|
||||
.TP
|
||||

|
||||
Display a help message and exit successfully.

||||

|
||||
Display the version number of
|
||||
.B xzdec
|
||||
and liblzma.
|
||||
.SH "EXIT STATUS"
|
||||
.TP
|
||||
.B 0
|
||||
All was good.
|
||||
.TP
|
||||
.B 1
|
||||
An error occurred.
|
||||
.PP
|
||||
.B xzdec
|
||||
doesn't have any warning messages like
|
||||
.BR xz (1)
|
||||
has, thus the exit status
|
||||
.B 2
|
||||
is not used by
|
||||
.BR xzdec .
|
||||
.SH NOTES
|
||||
.B xzdec
|
||||
and
|
||||
.B lzmadec
|
||||
are not really that small. The size can be reduced further by dropping
|
||||
features from liblzma at compile time, but that shouldn't usually be done
|
||||
for executables distributed in typical non-embedded operating system
|
||||
distributions. If you need a truly small
|
||||
.B .xz
|
||||
decompressor, consider using XZ Embedded.

||||
