The test driver 'lzotest' has grown into a fairly powerful program

of it's own. Here is a short description of the various options.

[ to be written - this is only a very first draft ]

Usage:

======

lzotest [option..] file...

Basic options:

==============

  -m#     compression method

  -b#     set input block size (default 262144, max 1310720)

  -n#     number of compression/decompression runs

  -c#     number of compression runs

  -d#     number of decompression runs

  -S      use safe decompressor (if available)

  -A      use assembler decompressor (if available)

  -F      use fast assembler decompressor (if available)

  -O      optimize compressed data (if available)

  -s DIR  process Calgary Corpus test suite in directory 'DIR'

  -@      read list of files to compress from stdin

  -q      be quiet

  -L      display software license

More about '-m':

================

Use '-m' to list all available methods.

You can select methods by number:

-m71

You can select methods by name:

-mlzo1x-1

-mlzo1x-999

-mlzo1x-1(11)

You can select some predefined method groups:

-mall

-mlzo

-mm1

-mm99

-mm999

-m1x999

-m1y999

You can specify multiple methods/groups separated by ',':

-m1,2,3,4

-m1,2,3,4,lzo1x-1,m99,81

And finally you can use multiple '-m' options:

-m962,972 -mm99,982,m1

Other options:

==============

--max-data-length=LEN

--dict=FILENAME

--max-dict-length=LEN

--dump=FILENAME

--adler32

--crc32

--execution-time

--totals
