lrztar

A wrapper for lrzip to simplify compression of directories. See also: tar, lrzuntar, lrunzip.

• Archive a directory with tar, then compress:

lrztar {{path/to/directory}}

• Same as above, with ZPAQ - extreme compression, but very slow:

lrztar -z {{path/to/directory}}

• Specify the output file:

lrztar -o {{path/to/file}} {{path/to/directory}}

• Override the number of processor threads to use:

lrztar -p {{8}} {{path/to/directory}}

• Force overwriting of existing files:

lrztar -f {{path/to/directory}}
