                                   September 2013

          -t, --test
               test compressed file integrity

          -v, --verbose
               be verbose (a 2nd -v gives more)

          -1 .. -9
               set compression level [default 6]

          --fast
               alias for -1

          --best
               alias for -9

          If no file names are given, minilzip compresses or decompresses from
          standard input to standard output.  Numbers may be followed by a
          multiplier: k = kB = 10^3 = 1000, Ki = KiB = 2^10 = 1024, M = 10^6, Mi
          = 2^20, G = 10^9, Gi = 2^30, etc...  The bidimensional parameter space
          of LZMA can't be mapped to a linear scale optimal for all files. If
          your files are large, very repetitive, etc, you may need to use the
          --match-length and --dictionary-size options directly to achieve
          optimal performance. For example, -9m64 usually compresses executables
          more (and faster) than -9.

          Exit status: 0 for a normal exit, 1 for environmental problems (file
          not found, invalid flags, I/O errors, etc), 2 to indicate a corrupt or
          invalid input file, 3 for an internal consistency error (eg, bug)
          which caused minilzip to panic.
