LZMAINFO(1)

NAME
lzmainfo - show infomation stored in the LZMA compressed file header

SYNOPSIS
lzmainfo [ --help | filename ]

DESCRIPTION
lzmainfo shows information stored in the LZMA compressed file header. It reads the first 13 bytes from the specified filename, decodes the header and prints it to the standard output in human readable format. If no filename is specified, the standard input is read.

Usually the most interesting information is the uncompressed size and the dictionary size. Uncompressed size can be shown only if the file is in the non-streamed LZMA format. The amount of memory required to decompress the file is a few kilobytes plus the dictionary size.

DIAGNOSTICS
lzmainfo returns zero on success and non-zero on error.
