DESCRIPTION
The main purpose of this utility is to recompress png files to get the smallest possible size.
Please note that this utility is not able to read a generic file. It's granted to be able to read only the files generated by the Advance-
MAME emulator.
To compress the files this utility uses the following strategies:
o Remove all ancillary chunks.
o Concatenate all the IDAT chunks.
o Use the 7zip Deflate implementation.
OPTIONS
-l, --list FILES...
List the content of the specified files.
-z, --recompress FILES...
Recompress the specified files. If the -1, -2, -3 options are specified it's used the smallest file choice from the previous com-
pressed data and the new compression. If the -0 option is specified the file is always rewritten without any compression.
-0, --shrink-store
Disable the compression. The file is only stored and not compressed. The file is always rewritten also if it's bigger.
-1, --shrink-fast
Set the compression level to "fast".
-2, --shrink-normal
Set the compression level to "normal". This is the default level of compression.
-3, --shrink-extra
Set the compression level to "extra".
-4, --shrink-insane
Set the compression level to "insane".
-f, --force
Force the use of the new file also if it's bigger.
