NAME

6       lzmainfo - show infomation stored in the .lzma file header
7

SYNOPSIS

9       lzmainfo [--help] [--version] [file]...
10

DESCRIPTION

12       lzmainfo  shows  information  stored in the .lzma file header. It reads
13       the first 13 bytes from the specified file,  decodes  the  header,  and
14       prints  it to standard output in human readable format. If no files are
15       given or file is -, 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 variant. The amount of memory required
20       to  decompress  the  file  is a few dozen kilobytes plus the dictionary
21       size.
22
23       lzmainfo is included in XZ Utils primarily for  backward  compatibility
24       with LZMA Utils.

EXIT STATUS

27       0      All is good.
28
29       1      An error occurred.

BUGS

32       lzmainfo  uses  MB  while the correct suffix would be MiB (2^20 bytes).
33       This is to keep the output compatible with LZMA Utils.
