NAME¶

lrztar - Directory wrapper for lrzip

SYNOPSIS¶

  lrztar [options] DIRECTORY
  lrztar -d [options] DIRECTORY.tar.lrz
  lrzuntar [options] DIRECTORY.tar.lrz

DESCRIPTION¶

lrztar is a wrapper for compressing and decompressing whole directories with lrzip(1) to corresponding file "DIRECTORY.tar.lrz". lrzuntar is identical to "lrztar -d". lrztar accepts the same short options as lrzip where they make sense for a directory tar wrapper.

OPTIONS¶

Most options are passed through to lrzip(1). Wrapper-specific behaviour:

-d file

Decompress lrzip tarball file with lrzcat(1) and tar.

-t

Test integrity of a lrzip tarball (calls "lrzip -t").

-i

Show compressed file information (calls "lrzip -i").

-V

Show lrztar and lrzip version information.

-e password

Encrypt the archive. Because compression is "tar | lrzip", the password is required on the command line; lrzip cannot prompt on the pipe stdin.

-Q

Very quiet mode (passed to lrzip).

-C, -c

Check integrity of written files on decompression (passed to lrzip).

-K, -k

Keep broken or damaged output files (passed to lrzip).

See lrzip(1) for compression backends, levels, window size, and other flags. =head1 ENVIRONMENT

None.

FILES¶

None.
