lrzip.conf(5)

NAME

lrzip.conf - Configuration File for lrzip

DESCRIPTION

This file if used, will be read by the lrzip program, parsed, and options passed to the program. Some options may be overridden on the command line. Others are fixed.

The configuration file must be called lrzip.conf. The lrzip program will search for the file automatically in one of three places:
$PWD - Current Directory
/etc/lrzip
$HOME/./lrzip

Parameters are set in PARAMETER=VALUE fashion where any line beginning with a # or that is blank will be ignored.

CONFIG FILE EXAMPLE

# This is a comment.

# Compression Window size in 100MB. Normally selected by program.
WINDOW = 5
# Compression Level 1-9 (7 Default).
COMPRESSIONLEVEL = 7
# Compression Method, rzip, gzip, bzip2, lzo, or lzma (default).
COMPRESSIONMETHOD = lzma
# Test Threshold value 1-10 (2 Default).
TESTTHRESHOLD = 2
# Default output directory
OUTPUTDIRECTORY = location
# Verbosity, true or 1, or max or 2
VERBOSITY = max
# Show Progress as file is parsed, true or 1, false or 0
SHOWPROGRESS = true
# Set Niceness. 19 is default. -20 to 19 is the allowable range
NICE = 19
# Delete source file after compression
# this parameter and value are case sensitive
# value must be YES to activate
# DELETEFILES = NO

# Replace existing lrzip file when compressing
# this parameter and value are case sensitive
# value must be YES to activate
# REPLACEFILE = NO

NOTES

Be careful when using DELETEFILES or REPLACEFILE as no warning will be given and lrzip will simply delete the source or replace the output file!
