15.Nd compress disk image for use with
16.Xr geom_uzip 4
17class
18.Sh SYNOPSIS
--- 6 unchanged lines hidden (view full) ---
25The
26.Nm
27utility compresses a disk image file so that the
28.Xr geom_uzip 4
29class will be able to decompress the resulting image at run-time.
30This allows for a significant reduction of size of disk image at
31the expense of some CPU time required to decompress the data each
32time it is read.
33The
34.Nm
35utility
36works in two phases:
37.Bl -enum
38.It
39An
40.Ar infile
41image is split into clusters; each cluster is compressed using
42.Xr zlib 3 .
43.It
--- 27 unchanged lines hidden (view full) ---
71are only 1-2% less than those achieved with
72.Xr gzip 1 .
73However, it should be kept in mind that larger cluster
74sizes lead to higher overhead in the
75.Xr geom_uzip 4
76class, as the class has to decompress the whole cluster even if
77only a few bytes from that cluster have to be read.
78.Pp
79The
80.Nm
81utility
82inserts a short shell script at the beginning of the generated image,
83which makes it possible to
84.Dq run
85the image just like any other shell script.
86The script tries to load the
87.Xr geom_uzip 4
88class if it is not loaded, configure the image as an
89.Xr md 4
