-brotli(1) -- brotli, unbrotli - compress or decompress files
-================================================================
-
-SYNOPSIS
---------
-
-`brotli` [*OPTION|FILE*]...
-
-`unbrotli` is equivalent to `brotli --decompress`
-
-DESCRIPTION
------------
-`brotli` is a generic-purpose lossless compression algorithm that compresses
-data using a combination of a modern variant of the **LZ77** algorithm, Huffman
-coding and 2-nd order context modeling, with a compression ratio comparable to
-the best currently available general-purpose compression methods. It is similar
-in speed with deflate but offers more dense compression.
-
-`brotli` command line syntax similar to `gzip (1)` and `zstd (1)`.
-Unlike `gzip (1)`, source files are preserved by default. It is possible to
-remove them after processing by using the `--rm` _option_.
-
-Arguments that look like "`--name`" or "`--name=value`" are _options_. Every
-_option_ has a short form "`-x`" or "`-x value`". Multiple short form _options_
-could be coalesced:
-
-* "`--decompress --stdout --suffix=.b`" works the same as
-* "`-d -s -S .b`" and
-* "`-dsS .b`"
-
-`brotli` has 3 operation modes:
-
-* default mode is compression;
-* `--decompress` option activates decompression mode;
-* `--test` option switches to integrity test mode; this option is equivalent to
- "`--decompress --stdout`" except that the decompressed data is discarded
- instead of being written to standard output.
-
-Every non-option argument is a _file_ entry. If no _files_ are given or _file_
-is "`-`", `brotli` reads from standard input. All arguments after "`--`" are
-_file_ entries.
-
-Unless `--stdout` or `--output` is specified, _files_ are written to a new file
-whose name is derived from the source _file_ name:
-
-* when compressing, a suffix is appended to the source filename to
- get the target filename
-* when decompressing, a suffix is removed from the source filename to
- get the target filename
-
-Default suffix is `.br`, but it could be specified with `--suffix` option.
-
-Conflicting or duplicate _options_ are not allowed.
-
-OPTIONS
--------
-
-* `-#`:
- compression level (0-9); bigger values cause denser, but slower compression
-* `-c`, `--stdout`:
- write on standard output
-* `-d`, `--decompress`:
- decompress mode
-* `-f`, `--force`:
- force output file overwrite
-* `-h`, `--help`:
- display this help and exit
-* `-j`, `--rm`:
- remove source file(s); `gzip (1)`-like behaviour
-* `-k`, `--keep`:
- keep source file(s); `zstd (1)`-like behaviour
-* `-n`, `--no-copy-stat`:
- do not copy source file(s) attributes
-* `-o FILE`, `--output=FILE`
- output file; valid only if there is a single input entry
-* `-q NUM`, `--quality=NUM`:
- compression level (0-11); bigger values cause denser, but slower compression
-* `-t`, `--test`:
- test file integrity mode
-* `-v`, `--verbose`:
- increase output verbosity
-* `-w NUM`, `--lgwin=NUM`:
- set LZ77 window size (0, 10-24) (default: 22); window size is
- `(2**NUM - 16)`; 0 lets compressor decide over the optimal value; bigger
- windows size improve density; decoder might require up to window size
- memory to operate
-* `-S SUF`, `--suffix=SUF`:
- output file suffix (default: `.br`)
-* `-V`, `--version`:
- display version and exit
-* `-Z`, `--best`:
- use best compression level (default); same as "`-q 11`"
