OPTIONS

       -h, --help

              output version information and exit

       -b, --member-size=<n>
              set member size limit in bytes

       -c, --stdout
              send output to standard output

       -d, --decompress
              decompress

       -k, --keep
              keep (don’t delete) input files

       -m, --match-length=<n>
              set match length limit in bytes [80]

       -S, --volume-size=<n>
              set volume size limit in bytes

       -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,  lzip  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...
