cromfs 1.5.5.3 (Default branch)
Cromfs is a compressed read-only filesystem for Linux.Cromfs is best at archiving gigabytes of big files that have a lot of redundancy. It aims primarily at achieving a strong compression, even at the cost of memory and CPU time resources. It uses the LZMA compression algorithm from 7-zip and block merging.License: GNU General Public License v3Changes:
This relatively minor release addresses two major bugs in recent releases of Cromfs: A data corruption bug in mkcromfs, and compilation problems on 32-bit platforms. All users of Cromfs versions 1.5.4.2 or later are urged to upgrade.Image

znew

ZNEW(1) 						    BSD General Commands Manual 						   ZNEW(1)

NAME

     znew -- convert compressed files to gzipped files

SYNOPSIS

     znew [-ftv9K] file ...

DESCRIPTION

     The znew utility uncompresses files compressed by compress(1) and recompresses them with gzip(1).

     The options are as follows:

     -f      Overwrite existing '.gz' files.  Unless this option is specified, znew refuses to overwrite existing files.

     -t      Test integrity of the gzipped file before deleting the original file.  If the integrity check fails, the original '.Z' file is not
	     removed.

     -v      Print a report specifying the achieved compression ratios.

     -9      Use the -9 mode of gzip(1), achieving better compression at the cost of slower execution.

     -K      Keep the original '.Z' file if it uses less disk blocks than the gzipped one.  A disk block is 1024 bytes.

SEE ALSO

     gzip(1)

CAVEATS

     The znew utility tries to maintain the file mode of the original file.  If the original file is not writable, it is not able to do that and
     znew will print a warning.
