.SH NAME
Lunzip \- decompressor for lzip files
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B lunzip
[\fIoptions\fR] [\fIfiles\fR]
.SH DESCRIPTION
Lunzip \- Decompressor for lzip files.
Lunzip is a decompressor for lzip files. It is written in C and its
small size makes it well suited for embedded devices or software
installers that need to decompress files but do not need compression
capabilities. Lunzip is fully compatible with lzip\-1.4 or newer.
.PP
If the size of the output buffer is specified with the '\-\-buffer\-size'
option, lunzip uses the decompressed file as dictionary for distances
beyond the buffer size and is able to decompress any file using as
little memory as 50 kB, irrespective of the dictionary size used to
compress the file. Of course, the smaller the output buffer size used in
relation to the dictionary size, the more accesses to disk are needed
and the slower the decompression is. This 'low memory' mode only works
when decompressing to a regular file.
