NAME
objZ - Compression utility
SYNOPSIS
objZ [options] input
OPTIONS
The objZ command accepts the following options: Decompress input. The input file must be in ALPHAMAGICZ compressed object file format.
Print the argument count, input length, and output length.
DESCRIPTION
The objZ command takes a regular, read/write file in ALPHAMAGIC format as input and converts it to ALPHAMAGICZ compressed format. The com-
pressed output file replaces the input file.
When the -u option is specified, the objZ command takes as input a file in ALPHAMAGICZ format (that is, a file previously produced by the
objZ command or by the as command with the -compress option) and converts it to ALPHAMAGIC format.
ERRORS
When compressing an input file, the objZ command generates errors if the file is not a regular file (for example, a directory or device
special file), if the file is read-only, if its header cannot be read, if the file is not in ALPHAMAGIC format, or if a compression failure
occurs.
When decompressing an input file, the objZ command generates errors if the file is not a regular file, if the file is read-only, if the
file is not in ALPHAMAGICZ format, or if a decompression failure occurs.
