NAME

SYNOPSIS

9       lzmainfo [ --help | filename ]
10

DESCRIPTION

12       lzmainfo  shows  information stored in the LZMA compressed file header.
13       It reads the first 13 bytes from the specified  filename,  decodes  the
14       header  and  prints it to the standard output in human readable format.
15       If no filename is specified, the standard input is read.
16
17       Usually the most interesting information is the uncompressed  size  and
18       the dictionary size. Uncompressed size can be shown only if the file is
19       in the non-streamed LZMA format.  The  amount  of  memory  required  to
20       decompress the file is a few kilobytes plus the dictionary size.
21

DIAGNOSTICS

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