1LZMAINFO(1) XZ Utils LZMAINFO(1) 2 3 4 5NAME 6 lzmainfo - show information stored in the .lzma file header 7 8SYNOPSIS 9 lzmainfo [--help] [--version] [file]... 10 11DESCRIPTION 12 lzmainfo shows information stored in the .lzma file header. It reads 13 the first 13 bytes from the specified file, decodes the header, and 14 prints it to standard output in human readable format. If no files are 15 given or file is -, standard input is read. 16 17 Usually the most interesting information is the uncompressed size and 18 the dictionary size. Uncompressed size can be shown only if the file 19 is in the non-streamed .lzma format variant. The amount of memory 20 required to decompress the file is a few dozen kilobytes plus the dic- 21 tionary size. 22 23 lzmainfo is included in XZ Utils primarily for backward compatibility 24 with LZMA Utils. 25 26EXIT STATUS 27 0 All is good. 28 29 1 An error occurred. 30 31BUGS 32 lzmainfo uses MB while the correct suffix would be MiB (2^20 bytes). 33 This is to keep the output compatible with LZMA Utils. 34 35SEE ALSO 36 xz(1) 37 38 39 40Tukaani 2010-09-27 LZMAINFO(1) 41
