| Summary: Lossless Data Compressor based on the LZMA Algorithm | |
Lzip is a lossless data compressor based on the LZMA algorithm, with very safe integrity checking and a user interface almost identical to the one of bzip2. Lzip is only a data compressor, not an archiver. It has no facilities for multiple files, encryption, or archive-splitting, but, in the Unix tradition, relies instead on separate external utilities such as GNU Tar for these tasks.
GPL-2.0-or-later
* Sun Jan 19 2025 jengelh@inai.de
- Update to release 1.25
* lzip now exits with error status 2 if any empty member is found
in a multimember file.
* lzip now exits with error status 2 if the first byte of the
LZMA stream is not 0.
* Options `--empty-error` and `--marking-error` have been
removed.
* Thu Feb 08 2024 jengelh@inai.de
- Update to release 1.24
* Added the command-line switches --empty-error and
- -marking-error
* The option -o/--output now preserves dates, permissions, and
ownership of the file when (de)compressing exactly one file.
* The option -o/--output now creates missing intermediate
directories when writing to a file.
* Sun Feb 13 2022 jengelh@inai.de
- Update to release 1.23
* Decompression time has been reduced by 5-12% depending on the
file.

option, lzip now shows the name of the option and the range
of valid values.
* Tue Jan 19 2021 dmueller@suse.com
- update to 1.22:
* Lzip now reports an error if a file name is empty (lzip -t "").
* Option '-o, --output' now behaves like '-c, --stdout', but
sending the output unconditionally to a file instead of to
standard output.
* Lzip now does not even open the output file if the input file
is a terminal.
* Lzip can now be built, tested, and installed on systems
lacking a 'make' program. (Feature suggested by Mohammad
Akhlaghi).
* The words 'decompressed' and 'compressed' have been replaced
with the shorter 'out' and 'in' in the verbose output when
decompressing or testing.
* Option '--list' now reports corruption or truncation of the
last header in a multimenber file specifically instead of
showing the generic message "Last member in input file is
truncated or corrupt."
* The commands needed to extract files from a tar.lz archive
have been documented in the manual, in the output of '--help',
and in the man page.
* Plzip and tarlz are mentioned in the manual as alternatives for
multiprocessors.
* Several fixes and improvements have been made to the manual.

like `cp -p`. (If the user ID or the group ID cannot be
duplicated, the file permission bits S_ISUID and S_ISGID are
