NAME
lzmadec - small and fast LZMA decoder
SYNOPSIS
lzmadec
[--help]
[everything else is ignored]
DESCRIPTION
lzmadec
is a small and fast decoder for LZMA compressed files.
It is intended to work as a drop-in replacement for
lzma
in situations where available disk space is limited, only decoder is
needed and the data can be decompressed from the standard input to the
standard output. This has been achieved by simply ignoring all command
line arguments except
--help.
DIAGNOSTICS
lzmadec
returns
0
on success and
1
on error. Checking the exit status is the only way to detect errors because
lzmadec
never prints any messages except when
--help
is specified.
EXAMPLES
You can replace
lzma
executable with
lzmadec
for example in this kind of situations:
lzma -d < myfile.lzma > myfile || echo Error
lzma -d < myfile.lzma | less
tar xf myfile.tar.lzma --use=lzma myfile1.bin myfile2.txt
tar xYf myfile.tar.lzma
(Requires tar patched to support LZMA.)
