15.Nd compress disk image for use with

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.
33.Nm
34works in two phases:
35.Bl -enum

40.Xr zlib 3 .

69are only 1-2% less than those achieved with
70.Xr gzip 1 .
71However, it should be kept in mind that larger cluster
72sizes lead to higher overhead in the
73.Xr geom_uzip 4
74class, as the class has to decompress the whole cluster even if
75only a few bytes from that cluster have to be read.

77.Nm
78inserts a short shell script at the beginning of the generated image,
79which makes it possible to
80.Dq run
81the image just like any other shell script.
82The script tries to load the
83.Xr geom_uzip 4
84class if it is not loaded, configure the image as an
85.Xr md 4
